I run a webserver (remotely administered, no graphical user interface that i know of - certainly not one running all the time) - in the past few days this error has started to occur, the system dies and needs manually rebooting after each occurence:
you forgot to mention what kernel you are running and when was the last time you yum updated the machine ? are you also running some sort of web control panel that might ( bad idea ) be suppressing packages from being updated ?
while the machine is running - check lsmod, to see if any strange modules are being loaded ?
The machine runs CentOS 3 and has been for ~2 Years, a technician at the datacentre ran Memtest earlier today which returned no errors.
normally you would run memtest for a while ( overnight 12 - 16 hr cycles work best ) before you have a real result.
