Is this 100% reproducible?  That is, does it crash each time you compile 
hello.c, or only sometimes?

I suspect some hardware problem.  Could you please try to play with the 
CMOS settings related to memory, caches, etc.?  (The FAQ has some advice 
about this in section 6.6.)

Is the GPF *exactly* the same?  If even one bit there differs, please 
post the crash message from _both_ crashes.  The information there is 
very important.
