Getting KPs when using an internet browser?

First off my specs:

Intel i5 760 2.8GHz
eVGA GTX 460 1GB
Gigabyte P55A UD3
6GB Corsair XMS3 1600MHz

Using Snow Leopard 10.6.5, installed using tonymacs guide, multibeast, chameleon, and tony's nvidia fermi fix. More specs / info can be given on request.

Everything is working fine I think on my Hackintosh. I have every app I need installed, Photoshop, Aperture, iPhoto, Word, and everything is running perfectly. Bluetooth works flawlessly.

However, I have gotten kernel panics and I am starting to receive them more frequently whenever I am using a browser it seems.... Some examples:

Browsing in one tab then I'll switch to my other tab and then it will freeze and then KP.
Browsing and then switching back to another app, it will freeze and then KP.
Using another app and then switching to my browser will freeze and then KP.

I've gotten one other KP when I saved my document on Word 11 and then it froze and then KP.

These don't happen EVERYTIME. However, they seem to be happening more frequently. It seems like it happens most in Safari, however it happened both in FireFox and Chrome....

Anyone know what could be the cause of these kernal panics? Or anyway I can test to see what could be causing them? I suspected it could be the way OS X handles my ram or something? Currently my kernal flag is set as "arch=i386" and I am using 6GB of ram.

Thanks for helping.

EDIT: Just happened again while trying to load a Java app on my bank's website on Safari....
 
What does your console say when these KPs happen?

Applications->Utilities->Console

Might give you some useful pointers...
 
Not using wireless at all.

Not sure what Console says because I am not too experienced with reading it so I don't know what I am looking for, maybe anyone can give me a lead as to what to look for?... I'll post a screenshot of Console next time it KP's (using Safari now, so maybe it'll happen soon...)
 
Okay, just got a KP while using Safari. I clicked on the search box to enter some text on amazon.co.uk and it kernel panicked.

Here is some random screenshots I took of my Console, not exactly sure what I should be looking for. If anyone can tell me what the error is that would be fantastic because this is the only thing thats keeping my Hackintosh from being perfect.

The KP happened at 6:46, if that helps at all. Any other information can be provided.

It looks like the early 6:46 messages are showing the system booting back up

Can you post up the 6:45 messages, up to what you've already posted?
 
Okay!! It's been quite a while since my last KP, but it happened again while loading a webpage in Safari. Here is everything Console says.

I believe it happened around 1:09-1:11 (I was in the bathroom).

Can't see anything there related to something throwing a strop.

When you get a KP, boot up again and look for the latest entry beginning with "Darwin Kernel Version". That's the kernel booting up again after the KP.

Grab the previous 100 or so line of console (All Messages), to see what the last activity was before you rebooted.
 
Here's some stuff prior to that "Darwin Kernel" thing you suggested. But as you see by the time on those things, they're way before the KP occurred. I tried reading Console messages before when I was getting KPs but it always seemed to me like whatever was causing them just was not showing up in Console or was not recorded...

Will provide any other screenshots.
