Weird crashes

I have a computer running FreeBSD 5.2.1-REL, I've tried 3 different video
cards (two nvidia and one matrox), I've tried two different motherboards
(Aopen AK77-8XN and Aopen AK77-600GN), I've tried using just a single memory
DIMM out of the two, I've tried two different processors (AMD AthlonXP 2500+
1.83GHz and AMD Duron 1300MHz).
I also tried moving the swap partition on a different hard drive.
The problem is this:
Programs crash, namely Xfree86.
Xfree86 always stops on signal 6 (SIGABRT), and it seems to happen mostly when
I've filled the RAM and have started to use quite a bit of swap. I'm mostly
filling the ram with lots of browser windows opening heavy graphics off the
network.
Any debugging ideas?
brgds.
