I agree, hardware issue with mobo, or proc (since north bridge memory
controllers are usually built in here now). Seems more like a south
bridge issue (where pci bus liives), but could be memory corrupting
things as well.
Remove any external pci card you can, including usb devices. I had a
western digital drive housing cause some very weird kernel issues when
plugged in even.

What in the world could the problem be and how can I resurrect my
system?
(PS: I'm writing this message from my laptop. Tried to ssh login to the
failed system, but no joy.)
An OOPS at 33 seconds and then another OOPS at 52 seconds, both in
kernel code that should be reasonably stable (network drivers followed
by nouveau)? I am not certain, but I think there might be a hardware
problem somewhere in this machine.
You can attempt to diagnose the problem by booting from a rescue
system. If those things fail in a similar manner, it's almost
certainly a hardware problem. (If the rescue system works fine, then
your Mint install is borked, but that seems sort of unlikely.) Or if
a rescue system works fine except when you start up a GUI, it's a
problem with the graphics card. Or if it works fine until you try to
start DHCP, it's a problem with the NIC. The other thing to check is
the case and airflow--make sure there aren't any dust bunnies blocking
the fans or anything. If you suspect the RAM is the problem, the
memtest86 option on many rescue systems will probably say something if
you had bad RAM.
The last 2 times I've had things like this happen to desktop systems,
it's been problems with the motherboard. This is annoying because the
motherboard is expensive and a pain to replace.
