Are you using an nvidia card with nvidia's binary drivers? I had this same sort of problem for a long time because it turned out that the nvidia card was sharing an IRQ with my sound card. Unfortunately the only way I was able to change this was by moving the cards around in the pci slots (cause obviously I couldn't move the nvidia card) until the nvidia card had an IRQ all by itself. Ever since I haven't had any problems at all.
Of course there have been a couple revisions of nvida's drivers in that time too, so it may not be as big of an issue anymore. Also, I'm on a dual athlon system, and while I was trying to googleinate this problem, I found lots of anecdotal evidence that the dual athlon boards are prone to issues stemming from irq sharing. If none of this matches your situation, you might want to look at things like heat, and run a memory check on your RAM. Flaky ram can cause all kinds of strangeness. Hope this helps, and good luck.
