One of the first things I would do is to have your PC checked out from
a Hardware standpoint. The next step would be to have the power in
your building checked out. After 5+ years in the PC repair field ( 2
with a ZDS Dealer) I've seen many strange things happen because of
power problems.

When checking out the power in the building I would recommend using a
line monitor, with a paper tape preferably, inline with the PC in
question.  The next best choice would be a UPS, while these won't tell
you what the condition of the power is, they will beep when the power
fails and they usually supply a well regulated voltage output.

Good luck,

Alex

P.S.
    Don't completely rule out a software problem.  You might want to
    try to RE-SYS your Hard drive.  If this solves your problem let me
    know.
