Should have explained my entire logic with this process.
I've seen RAM fail with Memtest86+ after three days! I find that the
quickest way to diagnose an issue is to run a few passes of Memtest86+
and if that checks out (no extremely serious memory issues) then run a
couple hours of LINPACK or mprime. If you have a memory issue LINPACK
or mprime will show it very quickly.
If all of the above checks out, I'd get a copy of your hard drive
manufacturer's diagnostic utility and check the drive.
