Bad hard drive or bad kernels ???

I've had boot problems for months and I'm trying to figure out if its
the hard drive or a kernel problem.

I just upgraded to F13.  I've been running F12 since it came out.

Back in January, 2010 I began experiencing boot problems.  When I boot,
grub will always run reliably but about 2/3rds of the time the kernel
won't start running after you select it.  All I get is a blinking cursor
on a black screen. 

I've never not been able to get my computer to boot, but sometimes it
takes 5 tries.  Sometimes it works the first time. 

I never had any boot problems before it started in January. 

I've checked the hard drive.  All the SMART data says the drive is fine.
And grub has never failed to run.

So is there something wrong with my laptop or is this a kernel problem ?

Thanks
