Use memtest86 (centOS boot cd should have that option)
If windows is already installed, try prime95 -- thats one of the toughest tools that pretty easily weeds out bad hardware.Fast Serv Networks, LLC | AS29889 | DDOS Protected | Managed Cloud, Streaming, Dedicated Servers, Colo by-the-U

There are some good tools on the ultimate boot disk for checking different aspects of the hardware.
