I'm having a problem with my wife's machine. She recently lost a hard drive, which I replaced. I also replaced her mainboard/CPU/RAM in the process, with a board/chip that came out of my machine a week before. It's an 1.2 GHz Athlon with 768 MB of RAM. I've been using the same hardware (except the hard drive) in another box, and I have 10 other Debian unstable machines running in the house, so I'm not sure whether the problem is hardware or software, but I am leaning more toward the hardware. The LSPCI output is:

Since I lost the drive, I reinstalled using the Debian etch beta netinst cd. Install went fine, added packages, installed the right processor version of the kernel:

Installed the same package list that she was using before (Debian unstable). When I noticed that the system was having problems, I did a package upgrade.
In the last week since doing this, she has had the machine lock up or behave strangely consistently. A few examples...
- In Firefox, at times (like during text entry in search boxes), the text will change from uppercase to lowercaseless at random.
- She was sitting on a page in Firefox, and the browser executed a "back" without any input from her.
- I rebooted the other night, and when I logged in to her account (running KDE), the machine locked hard. I was unable to even <Ctrl><alt><F1> to get to a console. I had to reboot again.
- The printer, a USB HP PSC 1315v, works sometimes, and other thimes it does not.
- Starting Kontact causes a crash message from KDE, and sometimes locks up the system.
I did manage to capture two kernel panics. The
