Dual Athlon Kernel Panics

One of our dual athlons has serious stability problems. The server crashes randomly, especially when working with large files.

EDIT: Pressed Enter on accident

For example:

I was untarring a serveral tar gz files (same ones) that were over 150mb each, one after another.

They untarred fine the first 6 times. On the seventh time, it returned an error:

tar: Skipping to next header
tar: Archive contains obsolescent base-64 headers

gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--format violated
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

Then the server went down.

I'm currently using kernel 2.4.9smp which is stable. When I upgrade to newer athlon kernels, these nightmares start to happen. even when I try to install the i686 version of the kernel, the rpm gives me a whole slew of errors.
