Hard drive failures usually have sound associated with them - a new brrr brrr brrr coming from the drive, and errors in /var/log/messages. man smartctl is your friend. You'll run something like smartctl -i /dev/sda

    I hsve my computer on and suddenly X crashes and on the screen
    there is:

         *Pulse Audio

    and a bunch of other text scattered about the screen. Now this
    happened before and I think it had to do with the hard drive being
    bad. Does that sound right?
