Segfaults can also be:

1. You compiled your system with the wrong cpu support.  (Not likely, if you are only 
seeing this occasionally.)

2. You have flaky memory chips.  Obtain and run the memtest86 program (available on 
LiveCD) for 24 hours or more.  If any errors, replace the memory.

3. Overheating.  Most bios these days can report out the temperature (enter setup when 
you boot), or you can use lm-sensors (or equivalent for 2.6 kernels) to to this online.
