I would postulate the disappearance of the nvidia made no difference but I was just unable to trigger the issue. Maybe it's somehow related to multithreading i. e. it occurs more often in the graphical environments. I'll try again with disabled graphics and let you know.
I do not overclock the system, the cpu has an arctic cooling fan sold for athlon 64 X2. It's not an expensive one, but in my opinion it should be OK. A few hours ago I booted the latest KNOPPIX live dvd (also Debian based) which features KDE as default desktop environment. After opening a few terminal windows to check if cool 'n' quiet is active the system froze alike. So it's not some fancy GNOME stuff causing the issue. Also booted KNOPPIX into console mode, no X modules loaded, called up burnK7 three or four times and the machine crashed. If you suggest the problem is my hardware then I will try to exchange the vital parts. I'll see if I can get my hands on an ATI-card and see if the lockup is still happening then What about the bug #109643, is it confirmed it's the binary driver in this case?
