Sounds very like hardware problems in the RAM subsystem (RAM SIMMs or
DIMMs, cache, mobo).  

Suspect this especially if you are overclocking, running a motherboard
at a base speed above its rating (e.g. any Intel Socket 7 chipset over
66MHz, typically with 686 processors), have a remarked processor
(involuntary overclocking), have non-PC100 SDRAM running at 100MHz, a
stuck processor fan, or are a PC Chips victim  ;-)

Suspect this also if you are overclocking the PCI bus, typically when
running a base speed of 75 or 83MHz on a mobo that derives PCI clock
using a fixed 2:1 divisor off the CPU base clock.  This applies to all
Intel Socket 7 motherboard chipsets and is common on 686 systems.
