  Not that in particular, but a "PCI parity error" generally means a
low-level signaling problem on the PCI bus.  That is, a bus signal got
corrupted.  If this happens more then once, it means big trouble.  
Replacing the defective hardware (and quick) is generally the only solution.

  Sounds like you're on the right track with that.
