Hard drive failures usually have sound associated with them - a new brrr brrr brrr coming from the drive, and errors in /var/log/messages.  man smartctl is your friend.  You'll run something like smartctl -i /dev/sda

and a bunch of other text scattered about the screen. Now this happened before and I think it had to do with the hard drive being bad. Does that sound right?
