what about trying to boot up to a Knoppix ISO and see if you have any problems with hardware other then your hard drive? if you have a bad video card, RAM or anything else, i think you would have problems with running Knoppix off a CD so you will know it's not your hard drive.
I would also crack the case and make sure all the cards are seated tight. sometimes while moving a computer a NIC or something will become a little loose and cause all kinds of problems.
i had a bad stick of RAM that caused me to spend about 400 bucks replacing everything from the power supply to CPU to video card.... last thing i checked was RAM and that was the issue all along.
