As suggested by others, don't overlook hardware problems like a CPU fan going
bad, power supply, reset switch, etc. I've personally had each of these go bad
on me 8-) Try compiling a kernel, bad ram will show up very quickly as a SIG
11 (unless it is in the middle of the kernel itself). Try the SIG 11 web site
and see if it can point you in the right direction:
