Hmm, doesn't look like that to me. Anything in /var/log/messages?

My TiBook came with a CD to perform hardware tests. Tried it once just
being curious. IIRC it also included a test of built-in RAM. I don't
know if this is available for your machine. If you don't have a CD,
maybe you will also find something in Apple's knowledge base about
testing RAM.

For me the FAQ at http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/ was quite
illuminating. It has some hints on how to diagnose corrupt RAM.
