Thank you for the additional information.

This is a typical symptom of hard-to-find and sometimes hardware specific
hardware lockups. The NMI message seems to support the theory I've once heard
that these lockups are related to the GPU doing stupid things on the bus.

While I can't reproduce this right now and it's hard to tell what's going
wrong, here are some things that you could try:

1. If I saw correctly, your card is connected via AGP. Try changing the AGP
settings (including disabling AGP entirely).

2. Can you test whether the lockups also occur with KMS-enabled graphics stack?
Unfortunately, that requires updating a lot of things (the kernel with staging
drivers enabled, X.Org, and Mesa), but several distributions offer
bleeding-edge packages.

To anybody who is listening: Is there a good, updated guide somewhere that
explains how to get a KMS graphics stack?
