That doesn't mean it will automatically guarantee to be error-free.

Does the other working machines have similar config (hardware, OS,
kernel, etc.)? If yes, then it's hardware problem. No way around it.

There are cases when it's not actually hardware problem, but kernel
problem (like when using opensuse 11.2 with HP smart array). In these
cases I'd try with liveCD/DVD of other distros first. This does not
seem to be case with your setup though.
