First of all, thanks for all the sugestions. I've ran memtest on the machine and it revealed no errors. After that, I've had it running, with exactly the same programs it used to run on the time of the crashes (chrooted 32bit vnc, some java apps and our custom print accounting programs) and

I had the exact same problem on my previous GFX-card (MSI GeForce FX5600). The problem was when running 3D apps like OpenGL-screensavers, the GPU got too hot. When I downclocked the GPU and Mem on the GFX-card. the problem went away. So, it's probably some weak hardware on your GFX-card (And

The problem was (somehow) related to the screensaver: In the middle of all my fiddling I installed nvidia's module and started to use X with the nvidia driver (instead of X's nv). I had previously installed the nvidia libraries but with a recent kernel upgrade I had missed to update them, so I

Yup, I'm tempted to blame it on hardware, but it's just weird that it started to happen a few minutes after the dist-upgrade. I ran memtest yesterday, just for one quick pass. I'll try leaving it running overnight today, see if it finds any errors. Karl Hoppel wrote me offlist with some
