This is most certainly a memory problem, either the main system memory, or
the memory on one of the cards in the system.  however, the stack overflow
is probably due to an interrupt handler routine being called to often.

This would indicate a main memory problem....

Try replacing the memory in your computer, or actually removing and
re-inserting the memory.  You might also want to run a memory checker
over night to try and find the problem.  It seems to be happening
often enough for you to be able to find it.
