Sounds like it could be a memory problem. Either you don´t have enough of it and you´re opening a lot of apps simultaneously, or the memory that you do have might not be seated properly, or malfunctioning. If not that, then probably software.

Come to think of it I used to get the same error when rebuilding my database it moves Tons of files and then it crashes.
 Try install more ram! <IMG SRC="images/forum/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif">
