I used to get this exact same error here at work. It turned out that
some bozo had installed 100ns simms in my machine for the upper 4Mb of mem
when it was originally supposed have 80ns or better simms. Basically it is
just low level memory errors. If you have programs crashing from time to
time then this is probably the cause too.
Cheers,
Stephen
