In my experience, this type of problem has always turned out to be hardware. The more memory DIMMs you install in a MB the more likely it is to happen. I was able to _finally_ get my two dual Athlon systems with Tyan S2460 MBs to work with 1GB (4 256MB DIMMs for a total of 8 banks of memory), but only after replacing the MBs with newer revisions. Prior to doing that, I had one of them (with the older rev MB) run fine for 2 months before failing. It might be software in your case, but I certainly wouldn't rule out hardware!
