After a while of compiling I get some error (I can't remember what the error was..) then I decided to emerge again... but it was impossible because I got the error "Segmentation Fault" I could not evet execute simple command because of the error... I decided to reboot but I got strange errors like "JDKDS ^%^%&&" and system was frozen.... I tried to chroot from live cd but again I got "Segmentation Fault"..... how to fix it ? what can I do ??

This sounds like some memory problem.
You might have to check your RAM chips with memtest86 in a live cd.

Ok I've checked and one ram was damaged :( I've removed it and problem still appears ..:(
But if it is hardware issue why it started to appear after updating packages ?

ps. Thanks for help

Did you remove the bad RAM chip or the good one ? Check twice on that :)
Re-run memtest86+ for several hours on the known good one.
