To me, that seems like a simple (or actually not so simple) hardware problem. If I were receiving such errors, I'd make sure that I'm not overclocking, then I'd change my RAM, set up conservative settings in the BIOS, and see what happens. Step by step swapping hardware components until the faulty one is found helps. > My first inclination is that it might possibly be hardware, but what > makes me think this isn't true is that 4.3 ran fine (no problems > compiling anything). If you really made no changes to your hardware then this is odd. I compiled and installed 4.4-STABLE yesterday without problems (cvsupped and compiled it on a Pentium machine that just previously had been set up with a new hard disk and 4.4-RELEASE). Anyway, I'd still recommend having a look for probable causes of the problems on the haredware side...
