A relatively newly bought one? Then you almost certainly have a
hardware problem. Bad memory chips usually are the culprit, these
days.  Get yourself a thorough memory testing software (memtest86 or
memcheck86 --- one of them is the name of the one I'd recommend) so
you can make sure your RAM is healthy. Or checkout your BIOS setup for
over-aggressive settings.

Internal compiler errors in two different compilers that reportedly
work on most other platforms?  Yes, that does mean your hardware is
flaky.
