I see this happening too. I'm using a Dell Inspiron 3200 with the same
card. 
It sometimes locks up on heavy network traffic, sound usage (I confess
...) and when the internal fans is starting. This also happens using
WinNT-Drivers. But it's happening not that often using linux because of
the power management being better than on WinNT which keeps the CPU
cooler and makes the fan starting less often. 

So it might not be related to the linux drivers in any way. The lock
wents away, when I remove the card. Even if I can save my work I'm
unable to bring down the machine properly.
I changed interrupts, addresses, dmas. But with no positive result. It
still locks up once a week.
I know that doesn't help you but I'm also curious about a solution.
