Use a Knoppix CD to test your RAM, test your HDD, and possibly fix  
your HDD.

To test the RAM, put a Knoppix CD in your machine and boot with  
"memtest".  Let it do at least one pass.

To test your HDD, again start with the CD, this time booting with  
"knoppix noswap 3".  You can now fsck your partitions or mount them  
to empty them.  When you're done, type reboot, remove the CD, and you  
should be back in business.

Let us know how it goes.
