Then you have some bad hardware. Maybe cpu gets hot doing the math,
dma is sad, disk drive not delivering same data, bad memory chip.

I would start with a memory test.

Or from your cd:
Put the CD in the cdrom drive.
Place a floppy in the floppy drive.
Open a terminal window.
use "cd" command to move into the directory where the .bin file is kept.

use "dd" to write out the image to the floppy

dd if=./memtestx86.img of=/dev/fd0
