Are you sure the machine is really stopping dead, or is it just not
accepting any keyboard input anymore? You could use some other process
taht continously outputs something to check.
If you use a experimental kernel, if might be a problem with that.
Otherwise, it's likely a hardware fault.
Try swapping some hardware components, i.e. memory, CPU, Motherboard...
if your machine needs to swap during the tests, the hard disk and its
interface could also be the culprit.
If you have a network card, try to remove it. Try turning off cache,
using more conservative memory and CPU timings.
