It's not ext2, it's your hardware, by the looks of things.

Tha could well be simply due to the load placed on that partition.

Those are not filesystem errors! They are page table errors from the
virtual memory system. They seem to be most commonly associated with
either bad cache memory or overheating CPUs.

Those are errors being reported from the IDE driver; again, they don't
come from the filesystem.
