RAM would be my first suspect unless you added something:

BAD BLOCKS second.
[Me] I would MELTDOWN (ZeroWrite) for warranty repair (and let them tell me why it doesn’t work):

Though a SPARE USER may help (if the problem is in your user):

Further — on a previously solid Mac — purging/reinstalling Photoshop (and reading the linked Adobe techdocs/6712.htm, paragraph two on my link) may also provide insight to nailing the problem…

I’ve got a G5 2ghz duelly and it’s perfect, with 2.5 gig of after market and apple ram. As Buko says, do you have any fruitly little haxies installed?
