I have seen such problems on systems which have incorrect settings of
the memory (L1 and L2) caches.  If your BIOS setup allows that, try to
disable both types of cache and see if that helps.  If the problems go
away, enable the cache-related features selectively, and try to find
the best configuration that avoids the problems.

It is also possible that your memory chips are not quite up to speed
with your motherboard.  It is not uncommon for these problems to only
show up in protected-mode memory-intensive programs such as GCC, since
memory timing is extremely important in such cases.
