it's worth noting that at least Firefox is very much more likely to
tickle memory or other hardware problems than vncviewer or konqueror, as
it uses lots of memory and other resources.
Run memtest86, or compile something large (like, update to -stable). If
that works, it's much less likely to be a memory problem.
