Provide more details if possible. Also try starting troubleshooting your system. "Memtest+" could do miracles to test memory. Start with 1 memory module, test each module, then extend to 2 modules installed at same time, etc. Another option is to exclude harddisk access by using a RAMDISK, so there's no harddisk involved, nor cache, IDE controller, PCI bus, etc (install your DB on ramdisk, then use it as if it was on harddisk - just for testing. Not permanent ofcourse as changes get lost upon system reboot if you don't perform a manual backup).
I'm not sure how to detect corruption of a filesystem explicitly.
