Have done every single one of them Ed?

Forgive me, but I know how stubborn you are.  I'd be willing to bet  
that you have not followed though with all of them because you  
somehow thought that they were unnecessary.

If you truly performed all of them, then you have to start worrying  
about a hardware problem.  Bad RAM is the most likely culprit, and  
the only sure way to test for bad RAM is to fall back to known good  
RAM.  A failing hard drive is another possibility.
