Hmm I've faced lockups due to a hard disk failure and once a bad RAM

Power supply can be an issue too.
I guess the RAM could be the culprit. But I am not sure. How do I find
out if RAM is the problem? memtest? Umm...the harddisk is pretty new
and I would expect to see a lot of read / write time outs in dmesg if
the harddisk was dying or had bad sectors. Nothing like that except
that SCSI message. Any idea wat it means?
HDD comes into the picture after bootup, but your problem is on power on
too. I am not sure about memtest. My system hangs within a few seconds
of memtest but has been running well since 5 years. (Touch wood). Put in
another RAM. Hynix has duplicates too.
