Either way, you're providing too little information for us to be able to help you out with any specifics, but given your description of unpredictable results, there's only one possibility if this unpredictability occurs in GNU-Linux, i.e. hardware failure.
Hi I use a Dell 4550 desktop with a multi-boot system (WinXP and several Linux distros). As expected, when I boot up, a boot...
Most likely, you are experiencing an intermittent RAM problem. Open up the computer and check whether all memory modules and PCI(e) cards are still seated properly. Download amemtest86bootable CD image and let it run for at least one day to see if there are any memory errors.
