The video driver is sub-par and one of the screensavers shows the defect 
in the driver. I had screensavers do this before and the video driver 
was eventually corrected so the screensaver would not crash any longer.

noof, starwars and a few others are good to try for immediate failures.

When you get the crash, submit the /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old file along 
with the screensaver which triggers the defective video driver.
