Thanks for the confirmation. It's definitely none of the above. I'll 
take advantage of the 3-year warranty once I get back from holiday.

What's weird is how it could fail in this way. Motherboards are usually 
either dead, or they aren't. This one seems to be partly non-functional, 
and only intermittently so. Why would the acpi=off,noapic,nolapic 
combination fix this?

P.S. Does this mean I've also been unfair on the ATI fglrx driver by 
blaming it for past crashes?
