I guarantee to five-9's that this isn't a hardware problem. I have had
this same problem since the TB! 1.53 days, and that was two
motherboards/CPUs ago!

I just recently purchased a new system (I always build myself, using
high-quality components, especially when it comes to RAM, and I don't
overclock BTW) and after installing Win2K, and doing very little
except applying the recommended updates, I installed TB!...

Within 24 hours I had a corrupt attachment in my Inbox.

If it truly was a "dodgy chip", then (a) I would expect flakiness in
other programs, which I absolutely do not see; I go for weeks on end
without rebooting, and I frequently use memory-intensive applications
that would surely have problems as well and (b) rebooting should have
some effect, since TB! would be in a different location in physical
memory, especially if you ran several other programs (IE, Word,
Photoshop, etc.) first. But this has no effect on the corrupted state
of the attachment, which, invariably, can be forwarded to a non-TB!
user who can open it just fine.

All the evidence I have encountered seem to point to a problem with
how TB! is processing attachments after they are received.
