I had this, and other problems, from having a wonky PCI card (A Belkin
USB2 card if anyone is interested.)

It's counterintuitive, I know, but pulling that card made several
problems dry up. The general recommendation is: reduce your system to a
minimum state--motherboard, min memory, video card only--and see if the
problem goes away. If it does, add bits back in until you find the
troublemaker.
