I've recently upgraded my hardware (motherboard + cpu + ram) and am now

NOT when X isn't running)
- When stopping X.

Are you sure this is a kernel bug?
I see that the constant is that crashes happen when X is running (or
when is finishing running).
You are using xserver-xorg-video-i810, but since some months this is a
transitional package that points to the newer (and less stable)
xserver-xorg-video-intel.
Since this transition i had noticed numerous crash (and various problems
using video applications, but these seems to be resolved), and reading
some bug reports seems that this driver still has different problems on
which Intel is working on.
I suggest you to look at:
http://bugs.debian.org/xserver-xorg-video-intel
In the meanwhile try to use the generic vesa driver to see if the
crashes still happens. If they will not occur anymore, you can try with
the intel driver from unstable or experimental.
If they'll persists... this could be a kernel bug. ;-)
