Two suggestions unrelated to your technical problems:

1.  Do not use all CAPS.  This is the e-mail equivalent of shouting and
may be considered impolite.

2.  You are not asking about issues related to testing new Fedora
components.  The appropriate list for your questions would be
fedora-list: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list

All good suggestions.  Might consider running memtest from the FC3
install disk.  Let it run for an extended time as errors may not show up
immediately.

Could try booting Basilisk
http://www.linux4all.de/livecd/basilisk/1.40/README-basilisk-1.40.htm or
Knoppix http://www.knoppix.org/ CD-based distributions.

Good luck,
Phil
