Lots of people, myself included, use the K6.

This particular problem points to hardware problems *somewhere*. Typical culprits are memory, either main or cache. It could be that you have your BIOS set up incorrectly. One problem that occurred with the first generation of K6 processors, particularly the K6/233, was overheating. If you have one of them, use a *big* fan. That's no longer an issue with the K6/[23].
