Here's an interesting piece of information to add: a month ago I had the
motherboard of the machine replaced (it was an ASUS P5B IIRC), and the week
before the memory modules were replaced. My next target would be the Quantum
HDD (I already have a couple of Fujitsus in the shelf waiting to be RAIDed).

Approximately once a week, usually after running a memory-hungry
application, and usually with framebuffer corruption in the X Server
(Debian slink stock 3.3.2.3 XF86_SVGA). No unusual config in kernel
except for the SCSI emulation.

The previous output was a plain cat /proc/pci. Here goes it in lspci format:

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Matrox Graphics, Inc. MGA 2164W AGP [Millennium II AGP]
	Subsystem: Unknown device 102b:1000
