After much wrestling, I was able to exchange the intel-agp for the
nvidia-agp but with no success in result.
Temperature was not the issue at 52 degree peak during the issues.
I then tried turning off all of the de-interlacers for video of less
than 720 and voila! I appear to have stability as I could no longer
reproduce the issue.
VDPAU Normal profile was using Advanced 2x and fallback of Advanced 1x.
I set them to "None".
I now leave it to my kids to break it.
If someone else has this issue, it would be nice to confirm if you get
the same result.
Note, I did leave the nvidia-agp driver installed rather than revert back.
