If you're looking for a cool "test-suite" I highly recommend the Ultimate Boot CD. It includes approxmiately 8.7 million tools (not really, but it is a lot), one of which is MemTest86.

It's solved ALL kinds of hardware issues. I highly recommend it.

I had the same sort of thing happen. The machine just would not
compile the linux source. Luckily it had different errors each time
which is what tripped me to look for a hardware problem.

Has a nifty tester with an ISO image. You can make a bootable cd
to test your machine. It makes a great addition to your test tools
suite.
