Actually, b43 _does_ use IRQ10 now.
I guess the card dies such a horrible death, that it also asserts the IRQ line forever.

Hah, interesting. I think your hardware may be faulty, in fact.
To me it really seems like the mainboard has power failures on the PCI bus.

This is a laptop, so you can't pull random hardware? Can you run some
hardware burn-in tests like mprime (http://mersenne.org/freesoft/) or memtest?
If that doesn't help, can you try with another operating system?
