What sort of hardware do you have?
Check for overclocked CPUs/bus.
Linux is more sensitive to dud RAM than Windows (Windows will corrupt your
data silently and Linux will die a horible death).
I have also seen cheapo NE2000 compatible ether cards give this sort of
problem.
Is there any error messages in the logs or on the console at the time the
machine dies?
