I've had an issue just twice where under high system load (such as when
compiling a large program) on a system with an AMD irongate chipset
(Athlon 700) and an ATi Mach128 or somesuch (low end roughly current)
AGP card, I suddenly get all kinds of video corruption.
The first time, when i rebooted one of my dimms was clearly toast.
memtest86 reported numerous errors starting from the first bit of it.
The second time, everything was fine after a power cycle. soft reboot
didn't help.
I'm wondering if it might have something to do with my having the ati
framebuffer driver loaded, which would be great, since I don't need it
and won't include it in my next kernel build.
