It could still be a hard drive problem, where the installed OS

There's
also a utility that gives the drive diagnostics, smartctl. Both have
man pages, and the web is always there, too.

e2fsck /dev/sda1 reports clean, and it looks like smartctl is not
present.
Live systems allow installing software.
You can also read the entire disk. A bad sector will cause an error
and stop the read, so if this completes, the disk is working:
dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/null bs=1M status=progress
Do this for each drive (as shown by `ls /dev/sd?`). You can still use
the system while this is running.
