This took a while because I had to finish a project and couldn't afford 
random reboots, but I took Phil's advice and used the professional 
connector cleaner AKA pencil eraser on the connectors, reseated the 
card.  I have now gone 4 days without an incident whereas I was forced 
to reboot 3 or 4 times per day.

Thanks Phil!
