   Smells like a hardware problem. I had a lot of problems with AMD chips
when I did reliability testing with them. One of the problems turned out
to be a real bug in the chip (it only worked reliably with 32MB or less of
RAM). They are also very sensitive to heat...you might verify that the heat
sink is properly installed and that the fan is working.
