Here's what I would do.
Run a memory diagnostic:

Run a hard drive diagnostic:

I have the ability to make bootable CDs, so I have these on CD. But running from
floppy will do.
Another very handy CD that I use for diagnosing problems is Slax. Slax is a Linux
that boots and runs from CD. The same CD works fine in my three computers. It gives
a second opinion on possible hardware/software problems. But of course you need
to be able to make a bootable CD.
