Simplest method: try a different power supply.  What brand/model/size is
the power supply?  How many drives and how much ram, and what video card
are you running?

memtest is great, but not perfect.  There are things it won't catch.  It
is best at consistent failures, rather than intermittant failures.

You could try removing half the ram if you have more than one stick, and
try with that, then try with only the other half of ram installed.

Maybe the bt878 driver is buggy, at least on 64bit systems then.  It is
a possibility at least.
