I doubt it's a DoS -- I bet it's just a hardware problem. I'd suggest
you take memtest86 (http://reality.sgi.com/cbrady_denver/memtest86/)
and run it through your memory. I've had good results with it in the
past. You may also want to try cpuburn (http://users.ev1.net/~redelm/)
although I've never used it.
