Well, another possiblity is that X is juts tripping over a real
hardware problem that only shows up under stress.
Debian packages must have some way of verifying that the files on disk

dpkg --audit
shows you packages which are partially installed, and offers remedies.
debsums
checks the MD5 sums of the file in the package
