--- Comment #46 from Matt Whitlock <freedesktop at mattwhitlock.name> ---
I discovered several failed capacitors on my motherboard. After replacing them,
my system stability issues (including some single-bit I/O errors I was
observing fairly frequently) have been resolved.

Thank you for the recommendation. I have switched to a Radeon R7 360 (GCN 1.1
microarchitecture, Bonaire Pro chipset) and could not be happier with the
open-source Radeon driver and the resulting desktop graphics performance on my
system. Kudos to AMD for releasing enough documentation on their chipsets to
allow development of a proper (non-reversed-engineered) driver. What a
difference it makes. I'll never go back to Nvidia.
