Are you sure it happens  with a "clean install" ? If this is the case,
and you tried with several distros, then it's unlikely a software
problem. You perhaps have a defective hardware (it happens more often
that you would believe), i.e. bad RAM or bad CPU. Does it freeze or
crash when running application which challenge the system (e.g.
compiling a new kernel ?) - see http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/ for a
possible explanation.
