what about faulty RAM ? did you test the RAM-memory ?
http://www.memtest86.com/
do the logfiles show signal 11 messages ?
have you tried booting without APIC ? (in ubuntu try "noapic nolapic" as

and are you using the xorg-nv-driver or the closed-source nvidia-one ?
what about irq-conflicts ? try taking out every other card except the
