This type of problem is typical of some
sort of hardware problem (but not always).
Could be memory (in the lower address range) or
disk error in the swap region or maybe even a
loose CPU board. The possibilities are numerous.
Can you determine a "best guess" as to what the
machine was doing just before the error?
You may also want to run system diagnostics
which may give you some indication.
