Sounds like hardware to me but since you don't quote the exact error messages, it's not really possible to tell.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

Check in /var/log/messages for related errors around the same time. Run mcelog (may need to install it first). I'd also suggest downloading and booting memtest86+ for several hours, preferably overnight to see if you memory is OK.

Incidentally, rpm --force is almost always a bad idea. For a start, for almost all purposes you should be installing using yum not rpm.

thanks for those suggestions. I didn't find anything on /var/log/messages. I have installed configured mcelog.

will run memtest and comeback.

thanks TrevorH
