Download memtest86+ and burn a CD and boot from it, let it run for at least 12 hours and see if it finds any memory problems.

The OP's CentOS-6 post (that thread now locked due to overlap with this one) supports Trevor's theory of hardware problems. The LiveCD/DVD have memtest96+ as a boot option, and may be useful for testing as well.

How long did you run memtest86+?

As the messages are about ACPI then try booting with acpi=off or noacpi on the GRUB kernel line. It would also be good to check for BIOS updates as such issues are often due to a buggy BIOS.
