The short version:

When I've seen this before, it turned out there was a problem with the
CPU, which I at first thought was a disk problem....

longer version:
 Started like you describe, and was eventually accompanied by debug
messages sent to the console that would occasionally cause the system to
hang...(things relating to I/O and stuff in dmesg about access problems,
and forced fsck of /), and eventually it started chewing up my disks and
the OS installation installed thereon. It took many months of
observation and a somewhat final series of crashes (won't boot
consistantly, might run for a bit if booted, and so on.) to finally
reach that conclusion.

My advice:
1. Backup EVERYTHING NOW
2. Build a new box
