not a complete answer, but the situation you describe may be a sign of hardware failure. backup data now if possible. – quack quixote May 06 '10 at 06:02

@quack Thanks, I'm leaning towards it being some memory going bad. – C. Ross May 06 '10 at 10:18

@C.Ross: try running *memtest86+* (via Ubuntu LiveCD if you need to get it) – quack quixote May 06 '10 at 10:25

@quack That's the plan. Explaining iso's and live cd's over the phone is no fun though. – C. Ross May 12 '10 at 13:40

@CRoss: no. go ahead, it's all yours if you care to write it up. – quack quixote Jun 11 '10 at 19:53

During testing with Windows memory tool, the problem occurred.
After contacting DELL support they gave permission to open the case and re-seat the memory, which was done.
This corrected the issue.
