Segmentation faults are indicative of hardware problems. Causes are, - bad memory - bad L2 cache - bad CPU - overclocked CPU - overheated CPU: - bad fan - plugged (with dust) fan - poor air circulation in your computer I just fixed a fan plugged with dust. So far my system has been running nicely -- no crashes. I am unsure whether the plugged fan, which caused my CPU to overheat, had caused any permanent damage to my CPU. If the system doesn't crash over the next 30 days, it's probably fine. If not, I may have to replace the CPU. Maybe someone who has more hardware experience than I can answer this.
