It turned out that the cause of my heat related failure that I posted about a couple of weeks ago was indeed bad memory.
I did try all the suggestions about making sure the fans and the heat sinks were working properly. The BIOS showed that all temperatures were well within the proper range. This was a strange failure in that memtest was of no use because it itself crashed without showing any errors. The fact that memtest couldn't run wasn't in itself a sign that the problem was due to memory since there could be many reasons why this happens. To the commenter who mentioned the fact that my office is cooler than our computer room - this is a sad fact about the financial state of the Univ. of Calif. these days. Anyway, thanks for all the suggestions.
