Failures likes these are almost always hardware related.  If it was a 
software problem it would die at the same place every time.  You 
could be suffering from overheating, bad ram (regardless of what 
memtest tells you) power fluctuations due to a faulty PSU, or any 
other number of esoteric problems.  FreeBSD has this knack of not 
playing nicely with partially broken hardware. :)
