I've had an interesting few weeks with a computer that was behaving alot like the one your mom has.
What turned out to be the problem was a slowly dieing power supply ( it's fine now, I bought a new Antec this afternoon ). This I figured out after testing the HD, testing the ram, messing with the ACPI, and so on.
It was just the sort of discovery that makes you feel really dumb.
I would wonder about the power at your mom's place.
If the card continues to behave at your apartment she may need a UPS.
