I would approach it this way:

- Wiggle all cables, reseat all components (you never know...)
- Check CPU cooling (I had CPU-related sig 11 crashes once myself)
- If CPU cooling is OK, try underclocking the CPU; if it is marginal this
may make it stable, and then you will know.
- Swap in a different power supply (a flaky PS can do all KIND of weird
things.)
- Swap in different RAM (or test RAM with memtest86)

If you can rule out CPU, RAM, PS... post a followup.

Good luck!
