My X Server keeps crashing. I tend to believe this is hardware related because my screen will start blinking and looking weird also. I got this from /var/log/messages:

Would this be hardware related or software related?

Probably software. You'd notice consistent problems that look the same regardless of whether you're using a basic VT or Xorg if it was a hardware problem.

First thing I would try is up/downgrading the video driver, to make sure it isn't a bug in the version you're using.

Strangely, this never happens when the laptop is stand alone. Only when it is connected to the laptop dock. Would it still be software in this instance?

Oh, also...the monitor connected to the dock that flickers on and off does it in a way that the power goes on and off. I have replaced the laptop dock and both monitors and same issue. Would this still be software?

When the laptop is physically connected to the dock, does the system detect hardware that is not detected when the laptop is not physically connected to the dock? If yes, then when connected to the dock, the laptop may run code that does not run when not physically connected to the dock.

Your kernel is quite old. Please try to reproduce the problem on a 3.16-rc or at least the 3.15.x stable line.

Good idea....I did a lspci -k before and after the dock and there was no extra drivers running.
