Nothing had changed on the dom0 that I know of. Other guests on running on that 
dom0 fine and its stable. Nothing happens until I try starting that hvm. As far 
as the HVM, I had run aptitude update/upgrade on it, but it the day before, but 
I had done that with the other debian hvm on the other dom0 and its not having 
issues. =/

Did you change something in the guest when it started crashing? Or something in 
the dom0? 
Are you sure your hardware is OK ? 

A guest should never crash host/hypervisor/dom0..
