There's an easy way to figure out whether it's the compiler's fault or that
of your machine: does the error always happen on the same file, with the
exact same error message? Since gcc is a deterministic program, it would have
to cause the same problem every time you compile the same file.

On the other hand, if the error appears randomly even though you compile
the same set of files, then this clearly can't be gcc's fault.

It certainly sounds like a hardware problem (memory, overheating, disk, ...)
