	I have had problems with dodgy memory in the past (in the past
couple of hours, in fact :( ). Maybe you can change the memory in the
computer, or run memtest86 on it? I have also experienced problems with
some on-board video hardware in the past. Make sure you've got the
latest and greatest drivers for those (if you're using X).

	Other than that, it's hard to suggest anything at all.

	Regards
	José
