* Have you tried memtest86? It's on all the recent Fedora install CDs
and DVDs (type memtest86 at the first prompt). It will diagnose
(most) memory errors.
* Have you tried booting into runlevel 3 and run as much as you know
how to in text mode? Something involving /dev/urandom, bzip2 and cmp
might be a good idea.
If the system is any more reliable doing this, then suspect the
graphics hardware or drivers.
Hope this helps,
James.
