Because I was getting messages during boot about IRQ's of certain devices not being where it wanted them to be, I dove into the BIOS of the motherboard and turned off the APIC. It was set to enable with below it the 'MPE Ver.' (this is from memory. Might be something else) set to 1.4 (other value for this item is 1.2, but when APIC was disabled, this couldn't be set anymore). Now that it's off, my problems have ceased. I'm on 345 scans without any signs of problems, where getting over 150 would almost require an act of God. The motherboard in question is the MSI K7Turbo2 v5 with a VIA KT133 chipset. The board I had in this machine before that was a Tyan Trinity 400 which also had this chipset. I don't know if it too had APIC on in the BIOS, but I assume it did.
