The machine has been running stable for almost 9 hours now. Considering it never made it more than 15 minutes previously, I think I have a reasonably stable work around (acceleration is lost though).
Here's what I did:
blacklisted the i915 module
changed the driver to "vesa" in xorg.conf
changed the video memory from 1 to 8 MB in the BIOS
At least the system is usable now even though acceleration is gone.
