Is this something that just started happening suddenly? I agree it sounds like a hardware problem. Can you post your dmesg and kernel log? Any hard disk problems should be reported in there.
Also, try running memtest86+ for a few hours to see if it picks up any memory corruption. Also, is lm-sensors (run "sensors") reporting any overheating?
