As well as the things Chris mentions above, and assuming this is i386, try

1. bumping up the number of wait states for your DRAM 

2. try different cards - I've just got hold of a Spider Tarantula VLB
   S3 card, and I can reproduce Signal 11s, NMIs and spontaneous reboots
   with exactly the same system with 8-bit VGA and 16-bit VGA cards, but
   *NOT* with the VLB Spider. This is with SCSI discs or IDE.

3. try different chips - I swapped an old DX2/66 for a newer one, and this
   stopped me getting Parity errors - I know this points at cache chips,
   but the motherboard had remained exactly where it was, and I swapped
   only the CPU.

PCs - don'cha just lurve 'em...
