The things that you describe sound like hardware-induced problems. I was having 
similar problems last month, and the solution finally was a new motherboard. Dmesg 
reported hard disk errors, but installing another hard disk didn't solve the problem. 
The machine would periodically freeze, files would get trashed, etc. Intermittent 
problems like this are hard to diagnose - the only thing worse than bad hardware is 
half-bad hardware. I installed a new motherboard, and the problems went away. Of 
course, your mileage may vary.

good luck,
Robert
