This may or may not be your problem, but I thought I'd relate it.
I recently had a similar situation, and while I thought it might be SMP
related it turned out to be the power supply. The connection between
the supply and motherboard had a high resistance joint which worked 90%
of the time. When it heated up it made intermittent contact. Tasks
which caused the MB to draw more current made the problem slightly worse
and drove the system over the fine edge and <crash>.
Finally the thing melted and I was able to find and repair the damage.
