Are these all burned from CD images you have downloaded yourself? The 
first thing to check is that your downloads aren't corrupted. The output 
of these two commands should be exactly the same:

# md5sum 64studio-xxx.iso
# cat 6studio-xxx.iso.md5sum

If you didn't download the md5sum files, they are available on 
ftp://download.6studio.com

If these tests are OK, it sounds like you have a severe hardware 
problem. You could try running the bootable CD image from 
http://memtest.org/#downiso which will test for RAM errors.

Cheers!
