Did you check your RAM as I already suggested?

Go here:


http://www.downloadnest.com/sys/system-rescue-cd-2.3.1/

download this version (there is a later version but use this one as I am 
told that it has some utilities now not available on the newer versions) 
and create a CD. Use it for what you want to do.
