What motherboard are you using?  There are lots of us throwing out our 
Tyan S2466 based systems as fast as we can.  After a while they start 
exhibiting the behavior you're seeing (hard locks (no OOPS available)) at 
random times that are very hard to diagnose/resolve.

See the beowulf list archives for a fair bit of discussion of this.
