good idea, I didn't though about this one since I only heard the nmi to lockup hard boxes after hours of load, never to generate any malfunction, but certainly the nmi handling isn't probably one of the most exercised hardware paths in the cpus, so it's a good idea to reproduce with it turned off (OTOH I guess you probably turned it on explicitly only after you got these troubles, in order to debug them).
