I had a similar experience once with a Computer, Via-Chipset.
Averred that the Mainboard had a problem. The issue actually was a combination of Network/Sound/Memory & High PCI Usage. Means - that I always had a segfault when these 4 things where producing together a high-load. In the End - removing the soundcard (Soundblaster Live 1024 Player) made it more playable.
I was able to reproduce the Segfault/System lockups sometimes when:
Having several xmms-insances running at the same time (stress the soundcard a bit), and perform a kernel-compile:
make -j 100 bzImage
Make sure you have enough Ram for a -j 100 ;) 90% of the time - I had a crash or a problem ...
Maybe you want to check that out ... I find the kernel-compile with the option -j 100 better than any memory Test stuff around there ;) cause it's not only the memory that needs tested, but the environment it runs in.
Cheers

Hi Greg. I've tried both 3123 and 4191 drivers. I also ran memtest for about 12 hours/24 passes on my 512 megs of DDR Ram. No errors reported. System temp is 27 C. CPU temp is 50 C. After 12 hours of running memtest, it was 52 C.
I've had the game segfault right after booting up, like 2 mins into the game, and I've had it run for 2 hours, with the machine having been on all day. In single player or across the LAN. Seems to be totally random. Tribes 2 and Rune also crash, back to the desktop. Whats really odd is that not even one of my WineX games, including a hog like Warcraft 3, crash. They all run perfectly.
These 3 games run fine under 9.0 on my 2 sons comps (Geforce 2 cards). I even tried renaming /lib/i686 to i686.old and copying their i686 folders to mine, then running ldconfig. Made no difference, same error.
I'm really at a loss.
