When you say "swapped the entire machine", what did you do?
I have two of them, and thinking it was the hardware on the one, I moved the hard drive to the second, but the problem existed there, too. That points to something with the software, but, well, I haven't found anything yet.
Also, what's running on them? Have you tried running top -d 10 or smaller (that will update the screen every 10 secs; I only recently found that current top allows tenths of a second.
I haven't tried top, but that's a good idea. I usually have one window open that is running uptime every second in a continuous loop, mainly to tell me when exactly it happens. Originally, when the problem was first noticed, we had VLSI software being run on it, but at this point, the only thing I have on the machine is the operating system, and I'm going through my step-by-step configuration until I notice the problem occurring.
