Hi all,
 I tested RAM using memtest 86+ , ran two passes , it took about 1:30
hours doesn't show anything. If want can let it run whole night.

Many a times I do get this though, maybe the hdd is failing ?

[284.072041] ata2.00:exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x6 frozen

[284.072300] ata2.00: status: { DRDY }

This is from the Live CD, otherwise its ata1:10 most of the time when
booting off the kernel as well as the status has many more things, not
just DRDY .

Comments, suggestions all welcome.
