The VIA 586 chipset (I guess you are referring to something like the Apollo
MVP3) is not affected by the data corruption bug that is present on the
686B Southbridge. In fact, I have a MVP3 based machine myself and it runs
fine. I don't know about any known problems with this chipset either.

I guess that your problem may be caused by some hardware problem. It may be
the RAM, the CPU, or even some flaw in your board. Extensive hardware
testing will probably be the best method to try to track down the problem.
I know that it can be time consuming, but it's basically best to do it
before assuming that there's something wrong with the software ;-)

Greetings
Nils
