Blender crashes when rendering in cycles

Question

Every time I try to try to render with cycles my system crashes, the console also has an error:
[r439@localhost blender-2.69-r60764-linux-glibc211-i686]$ ./blender
//Error when executing blender:

Answer 1

I tried the version 2.67b that worked for me before but that was when I was using Mint. I'm not sure what the difference is with Arch Linux. Open CL did not work with that version as well but at least cycles still rendered. This time with 2.67b I still wasn't able to make it work.
