If you can, change the memory strip to make sure that
this is not weak.

Your log file "unprintables" shows that the machine
crashed very hard.
Too the corruption of the fat could be an indicator
for hardware problems.
Sometimes this is caused by too long IDE cables.
It is very unlikely that an application like vdr
would be able to crash the box so hard just by deleting.
But:
The deleting of such big files too really long.
(sometimes more than these "famous" 10sec a user will wait.)
