Update:
Thanks to HP's LOGTOOL, I was able to discover that I really had two problems.
A bad memory SIMM and also a bad hard drive.
Below were my clues;

I have to really thank Atlantic Tech Services (www.atserve.com) for sending me the
replacement hardware overnight. I was able to get the system repaired and reloaded
in short order.

When did this start? What is the most recent change you have made to the system or it's environment, and when was that made? Have you noticed any other unusual system behavior recently, no matter how innocuous?
