Hard drive failures usually have sound associated with them - a new brrr brrr brrr coming from the drive, and errors in /var/log/messages. man smartctl is your friend. You'll run something like smartctl -i /dev/sda

I hsve my computer on and suddenly X crashes and on the screen there is:

*Pulse Audio

and a bunch of other text scattered about the screen. Now this happened before and I think it had to do with the hard drive being bad. Does that sound right?
