If that doesn't turn up anything, run the memtest utility

burn yourself a cd with that on it.) If it shows errors that's
likely your problem. If it dies doing that, suspect the power supply...

It's actually an option during a normal boot. Hit ESC at the Starting
GRUB prompt and select memtest86 from the menu:

From the installed /boot/grub/menu.lst:

title Ubuntu, memtest86+
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/memtest86+.bin
boot
