Also, make sure you don't have Memory/Main-board compatibility problems.
You may be surprised, but there are a lot of non-compatible pieces of
RAM and Main-boards in the market (especially if you assembled your
system yourself!).  I was bitten once like that, and it took me about
three months just to figure out the problem.  Once I changed the memory
sticks, it all went smooth.

Use the ‘memtest86’ option from the Grub menu and test your whole memory
just to be safe.

Just a thought, it might help you.
