Have you tried booting to single user mode?  Or run level 3 to eliminate
X as the problem?  

And to eliminate some of the possible hardware issues have you run a
memory test just to make sure your memory is not flaky?

What kind of harddrives are you using?  SCSI, ata, sata?  Have seen a
few issues with SCSI drives come across the list as well as issues with
sata drives.

What does your partition table look like?  Particularly the swap
partition as it seems that may be a sticking point.

Are you dual booting?
