Boot to liveCD and fsck the linux partition. I also recommend you boot to windows and chkdsk your windows partition too

May also want to test your RAM using memtest in Grub2 (Hold shift at boot and select the memtest there).

If it looks like this the ram is ok:

If it looks like this the RAM is bad:

Run it for a good 15 mins (unless you immediately get errors)

You should not have a separate partition for /usr and /usr/local. Last I heard having a separate /usr was unsupported and wouldn't boot.

/usr/sbin is probably used by kernel at first step, so it could be an issue.
I presume (but don't know) that others subfolders of /usr can be in a dedicated partition.
Remember that having many partitions means more administration work, so I don't think that apart /home, it 's really useful to have dedicated partitions.

Can you help with this problem?
