I did create a New Profile today & didn't crash between songs, however,
when I was finished, I went to Quit Pro Tools...That's when the fun began.
It FROZE! It caused me to Force Quit, well that erased all my preferences.
Force quitting should NOT erase preferences! How did you arrive at this conclusion, exactly?

Imagine every time you changed the channel on your TV, you had to go into
your TV menu and set it to Cable input, Video 1, Surround Sound, Color Matrix,
1080, etc...you get the point.

BTW, why did changing to a New Profile allow me to work longer? What is it
that my Main user profile is doing to cause crashing?

The new admin account has a fresh set of preferences - if the new admin account worked for awhile, that is a relatively clear indicator that the problem is due to an OS preference, as they also get stored to each admin account.

Have you tried running a hardware test on your system?

A clean install of the OS should have cleared up any issues like this, so I'm not sure what else to recommend other than the hardware test. It could also be bad RAM - you should try swapping/removing RAM to see if that changes anything.
