Exactly the point - the most common causes of seg faults are hardware (bad memory, mb, etc.) so that's where I look first. I had one system that seg faulted like crazy and I couldn't figure it out. Later it started working with no problem. I finally but things together. When I first started the system up it took forever (72+ hours to compile what should have been done in 8 hours) and would start making beeping noises. I found that neither of the case fans had been hooked up so the dual Intels were temperature limiting (at least that worked!). I connected the fans and the system ran at normal speed - and I haven't seen a segfault since even with heavy usage.

Oddly enough I had some fun with a slightly dodgy compiled kernel module that was the result of some over warm RAM on a hot day. Caused all manner of problems, I had to let the system cool and recompile the kernel again and all has been fine since.
