that's quite wierd. either (a) we're corrupting memory on a regular basis, and your machine has an unfortunate memory layout that gets hit by this issue, or (b) there actually is something special about your machine. * is the internal disk presenting an ahci interface? * have you tried memtest86. i expect it to pass, but it's always good to be sure. * can you point me at a specs page? - erik
