Sounds like a hardware problem to me.
Hardware problems seems to like heavy compiling. =D

try to recompile glibc and report if that works.
If it works I really have nooo idea whats wrong.

its possible its a hardware problem, but if it is why does it only shutdown with xorg? ive compiled kde recently and thats very processor intenstive. no problems there.
