Hey, Ken!
I'd also suspect hardware; not the HD.
A colleague had a G5 Tower with a dual processor... except the second
processor was failing intermittently. We did not know that and no
diagnostic at that time revealed any issue. Over a couple years we
spent days reloading OS, scanning disks, applying and re-applying
updates and being upset with Adobe Photoshop and Apple. Finally Bob
took it into The Apple Store, where they swapped out the motherboard
and all was well.
All the best....

I don't know if this helps but I once had a G5 tower which kept
kernel panicking and crashing. Turned out that the ATI daughter
card's heatsink had somehow warped and desoldered itself off the
board and the GPU was overheating after an hour of use, faster if I
was doing something graphic intensive, and causing the crashes. Now
that I've extracted the card and am running it as a headless server,
it's been up for 198 days straight. My two cents.

I ran geekbench, as cody suggested, no issues. Deleted/redownloaded
xcode, sill crashes computer. here's the panic message
GPU Panic: [<None>] 5 3 7f 0 0 0 0 3 : NVRM[0/1:0:0]: Read Error
Xcode crashing the computer is only the latest in a long history of
crashes. Ever since I installed Lion, Apple software like Safari,
iTunes and now Xcode has frequently crashed my machine. I took it to
an Apple store and they have never been able to nail down the
problem.
I chalked it up to Apple breaking their own rules and doing low level
things in their software. It has been very annoying but there are
spans of time, sometimes a few weeks between crashes, that the
computer was basically usable. With Xcode 5, however, there's no
stable windows. The longest I've been able to run it without a crash
is about 5 minutes.
I ran a test to see if the crashes are always the same and the "GPU
Panic" line appears near the top of all crash reports. Could it be my
GPU is dying?

Agreed. It’s working fine here - on a little mini. Could it be
something else that was installed at the same time?
Please excuse regular typos :)

Sounds like you have bigger issues than Xcode 5. I'm willing to bet
if you push your machine (handbrake, geek bench, etc) you'll run
into
this again. Software should not be taking down your computer, no
matter how poorly it's written.
Assuming it is Xcode 5, I'd reinstall it. Delete it from the apps
folder and reinstall.
Please excuse mobile typos

Hi
I recently installed Xcode 5 and a batch of system upgrades on my
computer and somewhere in the neighborhood of 70 to 80 percent of
the time, when I launch Xcode, my screen goes black and the
computer
reboots. On those rare occasions when I can get it to launch
without
crashing, simple things like scrolling or running "build" crashes
the computer. I've run several disk utils and there's nothing wrong
with my hard drive, so it appears to be an Xcode problem. Has
anyone
else encountered this?
