I would first update your BIOS and see if it still happens. Our boards had v1.07 on them and the newest version is 2.<something>. If it still happens then test each memory chip one at a time and you might find that just one is faulty. Also check on the TYAN site and see if you make and model of RAM is compatible. Perhaps try some other make/model of (compatible) RAM in the same machine (IF you have any handy). If all that fails perhaps TYAN's forums/tech support can help.

So there we go. You can have a faulty RAM stick and memtest86+ might not show up any problem. bonnie -s 2048 (for a 2GB machine) however caused the error to manifest.
The same happens to me (with Tyan 2882). Not only bonnie, but even a small C program like that: while (1) { p = malloc(10*Mbyte); memset(p, 0, 10*MByte); } crashes the machine, as soon as the system starts to swap. What is the solution? BIOS update and/or memory update?

Thanks to everybody,
