You have CPU, motherboard, or memory problems.  My vote is on memory.

You can download memtest86 or memtest86+ (burn either to a CD via ISO,
or put them on a floppy and boot them) and let it run for a while.   You
will probably see errors there within a few minutes.

Possible, but doubtful.

I don't see anything wrong with the fdisk output.

gcc is segfaulting.  This is very likely going to happen as a result of
bad memory, not as a result of a bad disk.  You'd be having many other
problems (not sig11; I'm talking random I/O errors or the system locking
up hard) if you had a bad disk.
