I have performed the safe install but the system freezes after a random period. Has anyone successfully installed 9.1 pro on this system ?

I get a similar problem on different hardware:- MSI K8 Master2-FAR, opteron 242s, 2GB memory, nVidia FX5200 with NV driver
It locks up every 5-10 days. Current hypotheses being explored are:
- i/o problems (the manufacturers rather optimistically have put two large IDE drives on the same channel). I'm thinking of getting a separate IDE controller.
- software problems (it has happened quite a lot when using browsers)
- heating problems. One possibility is to install a fan near the memory modules. CPU temperatures seem OK.
- possible fluctuations in the mains power supply (I have a simple power filter, but maybe a more sophisticated UPS is needed).
