Your problem sounds like hardware on crack. Check if you don't have faulty memory modules, or disk corruption (caused e.g.: by running kernel 2.4.0 in certain VIA-based boards, by bad cabling or a bitrotten HD).
And I don't have to say anything about undoing any possible overclocking of either the CPU or PCI bus you might be doing, I hope. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
