server Crashing

[Gary Stainburn]

Hi folks.  I've got a new install FC4 box which keeps crashing.  I've 
replaced the memory because it looked like a mem fault, but it's still 
happening, and has suddenly got worse.  Looking in /var/log/messages 
shows entries like below.  I've done a yum update this morning but it 
hasn't made any difference.

Anyone got any ideas what's wrong?:
