This would hint to a faulty cache module, (or onboard cache.) Have you tried
disabling internal, and external cache, just to try to narrow it down to
Actual cache, or a faulty CPU!!. Does this board have a replacable COAST
Module? Just some things to consider.

Just a thought..........

Good Luck, Steve W.
