If it's something which gives memory quite a workout (usually things
like compilers, but I can well imagine a fluid simulator would too) then
it could well be that you have faulty RAM.

It may be worth running memtest86+ on the machine for a few hours
(install the memtest86+ package in ubuntu and reboot. Go into the GRUB
menu [ press Esc when prompted to see the boot menu ] and select the
memtest option).

Cheers,
