[linux-audio-dev] disaster day #1

A bad powersupply is also something that can occasionally throw some 
REALLY weird symptoms in the mix.  See if you can get it testeed(Or test 
it yourself with a volt meter)  I am assuming you didnt change any other

it then.

Like someone else suggested, ram is another good place to check for nice 
odd symptoms
