Hello again, following S. Christian Collins' instructions I placed the clocksource=hpet command into the default grub sequence (which seems to only get more complicated as grub versions increase) but I am not entirely sure how to check if it is active. I have all of the debug stuff in dmesg available by using xdiagnose to insert the appropriate kernel debugging commands at boot time, but I only see a 'kernel command line' article that gives the kernel options from grub and no mention thereafter of a clock source. It didn't throw an error or say it wasn't using it so it must be doing something.
As to power management, I ran 'xset -q' as Jeremy LaCroix recommends and I can say that DPMS is enabled but that its event timers are all set to 0 so I imagine that is effectively off. I'll try adding a monitor section explicitly disabling DPMS in my 90-custom.conf file from the /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d directory. I'll try to make my system crash some more and report back what happens.
