Can you tell me a bit more about running debug versions ?

Since upgrading to Gutsy, I'm suffering from +- daily freezes. Sometimes X crashes with the above error, sometimes everything freezes with blinking keyboard LEDs..
I'd like to isolate the problem somehow, I just don't know how. I find no pattern, my PC will run for days with no problems, then lock up 3 times in an hour. I already tried updating BIOS, I replaced my harddisk(s), it still happens, even using a live CD, no accelerated video drivers, never mind desktop effects. Same machine is perfectly stable under XP and Feisty.

FWIW, my hardware:
- Asrock Dual VSTA 775 with Core2 Duo (Via chipset)
- onboard Va VT6102 Rhine II nic
- 2GB DDR2
- various SATA and PATA harddisks and optical drive
- nVidia 7900GS (but Im ruling out drivers, as it has happened with VESA drivers)
- Logitech Revolution MX mouse (you never know :) )

It could be worth if you guys post your hardware specs, maybe we can find something in common?
