My 4 year old Mac Mini had been showing some flakiness and finally I got an error about "hash mismatch detected on volume" - ran memtest and sure enough the RAM had gone bad. I rely on this machine for all my media, backups, etc, goodness knows what data I may have lost while the RAM was bad. It's a moderately common problem, found plenty of people with the same issue.
