One possible explanation is dodgy memory: do give it a check. The
memtest86 on a Fedora install would be good for that. There’s also a
chance that some other part of your system (possibly the processor)
isn’t working quite properly: keep an eye out for that. (One traditional
stress-test for processor and memory is a kernel compile).

Hope this helps,

James.
