These things are almost always hardware problems.  It could be RAM, CPU,
mobo, power supply, etc. *shrug*.

You could run memtest86+ for awhile to test ram.  lm_sensors can check
temp and voltage levels.

Otherwise you pretty much just need to figure out the good trigger, and
swap hardware until you find the culprit.
