I agree - probably not a disk error - though it never hurts to check 
one's drives every once in a while.

What makes you think it's a PCI error?  A quick google shows that this 
particular error has been associated with various configuration issues & 
driver bugs - particularly related to NVIDIA cards. Perhaps a pointer to 
the documentation on the specific driver reporting the error?  
(Personally "page fault" could well just indicate normal swapping 
behavior under load.)
