Hi thanks for those who replyed to me, i've fixed my bug :-)

I've reinstalled my Debian from my cd set of woody 3.0r0 and recompiled 
the kernel.
What i've changed from the last kernel that stop this stupid bug:

PCI Access Mode was BIOS and now is DIRECT
APIC was Enabled now is Disabled

it never crashed again :-)
probably it was a bios bug... who knows? my laptop is a Clevo 2700C, 
BIOS 1.13
