Your choice of components looks fine, its all stuff I trust, even if the ethernet card is not good for performance it ought to be fine in general. If it is a faulty part most likely its a one off fault.Note the IDE controller, and 2.5 bugzilla #123 That controller has been nothing but trouble for me.

Do you know that your platform support a watchdog timer. Not every thing
does, thought most do. It's probably worh verifying (cli; hlt;).
Is it possible you have experiennced a triple-fault? Most CPUs reset but some have been known to freeze and require a manual reset. This can be verified relatively easily (make int 8 descriptor NP then loop recursively - does the system hang or reboot?).
