Hi, I have some additional info for people with the same kind of problems. I
changed my BIOS' ECC settings by enabling scrubbing and now my problems are
gone.
The BIOS settings I now use:
DRAM ECC Enable [Enabled]
DRAM SCRUB REDIRECT [Disabled]
4-Bit ECC Mode [Enabled]
DRAM BG SCRUB [Enabled]
Data Cache BG Scrub [Enabled]
L2/L3 Cache BG Scrub [Enabled]
More info about these options:

Because these BIOS options seem to help (I now converted several big MKV files
using ffmpeg in runs of >24 hours) I don't believe it's a bad processor or
motherboard. Also the DIMM replacement guidelines on the site below mention
these L1 and L2 cache errors as a result of ECC memory failure.

My motherboard is an ASUS M3A78 Pro, with 4850e AMD processor, and 2x 2GB
kingston ECC DDR2 800MHz PC6400 memory
