Steve,
I had a Athlon computer I used heavily for a year with Win NT where
linux simply would not load. I did not believe the RAM theory either.
Finally (in desperation) I ran memtest86, removed the bad RAM and linux
has run flawlessly since. That was a year wasted.
It may not be your problem, but I agree it is certainly worth trying
given the symptoms you have told us.
HTH
