In my case it wasn't the hard drive (bad blocks tend to be more predictable, and bigger), nor RAM, but a defective cpu (or motherboard, I don't remember which). I know the hard drive and ram were okay because I'm using them still. The cpu had issues in another system, but whether the cpu was a cause or effect is not clear. So, if you can, test your hard drive in another system (because it's easiest to move). If it works you may be looking at the same kind of problem I had.
