I've got a similar machine. (Epox MB instead of IWILL)
And I can't keep my box alove longer than 2-3 days.
It just stops completely. Not even the magic SysRQ keys work. :-(
I tried to analyze the hardware parts that might be causing this,
but so far I had no luck. This morning I took out the TV-card (Hauppauge)
to see whether that's the bad guy, but who knows...

I've got a Diamond Viper 550 AGP.

SVGA

Hm, why is that?!? I've got all my PCI/ISA slots filled up, so that
some PCI cards have to share IRQs. And my AGP card is always sharing
it's interrupt with the first PCI slot, which holds the network card.
I would be very surprised to hear that Linux doesn't like shared IRQs?!?
Thanks a lot,
Andy.
