I have an nForce 2 board (Biostar M7NCG Pro) and a PVR 250 as well and was
having hard locks occasionally.  I recompiled my kernel to exclude APIC a
few days ago and haven't had a problem since (once I rerecompiled to
include DMA again 8-)) but it was only happening once a week or so anyway,
so that doesn't mean much.  Slackware 9, kernel 2.4.20, Athlon XP 3000+.
