FC8 Kernel Crash, Troubleshooting?

[Edward DeMeulle]

My system (straight fc8 install, not an upgrade) has crashed several times, 
usually about once a week or week and a half. The only information I have is 
what was left on the screen (took photo but can't send attachment to this list). 
It doesn't appear that the system has a chance to log anything in /var/log. I 
assume that this is a kernel panic however I haven't had to deal with this sort 
of issue before. Where should I start to try to ascertain the cause?
