Hi,
I have similar problem with my application that use mplayer with XvMC 
accel. That application play video  in loop whole day. After aprox. 
2-3 day system freeze with similar messages. If I disable AGPDMA in 
xorg.conf system works but cpu usage is 20%. I mean that this is HW 
problem may be overheating MPEG engine.
