Sounds like faulty hardware to me (or _really_ misconfigured kernel
and/or compilation options - yeah, I did that once :) )

First I would check memory with tools like memtest
/usr/ports/sysutils/memtest86

Second I would check if CPU is not overheating. You could use
/usr/ports/sysutils/cpuburn for that.

That's for a start. If it's not hardware problem post more details: do
you have custom kernel? If so, what options were changed? Was the
system stable before changes? What about /etc/make.conf? etc.
