Well it's interesting that it is repeatable.

First thing to do is to eliminate hardware failures:

1: Is the oops always the same, or does the machine crash in other ways,
with different backtraces?

2: Try running memtest86 on that machine for 12 hours or more.

3: Can the problem be reproduced on other machines?

4: try a different compiler version.

Thanks.
