Error 823, Severity 24, State 2

Here is my problem:
About a month ago or so, I had some hardware problems with a dell server
running sharepoint portal server and SQL 2000 on the same server where the
server just died a couple of times requiring restart. We got the hardware
problems resolved, and at first, we had some errors about torn pages and
database suspect and we restored from a backup. Databases were no longer in
suspect mode and everything looked fine.
A couple of days ago, while looking at possibly moving the SQL databases to
a SQL cluster we have, I noticed that we are getting some errors while
performing certain actions on the server.
First, if I try to go and do a SQL backup from within SQL Enterprise
manager, I get:
Error 823: I/O error (torn page) detected during read at offset
0x00000000b18000 in file 'e:\Program files\microsoft SQL
server\mssql\data\<database name>'
Here is the kicker... this happens on EVERY database on that server at same
offset, and then it gets me into the sql server backup window to do the
backup. The backup goes fine and then I get another I/O error (without the
Error 823 in front) at the same offset.
The error that is logged in the eventviewer is
Event ID: 17052
Error: 823, severity: 24, State:2
I/O error (torn page) detected during read at offset 0x00000000b18000 in
file 'e:\Program files\microsoft SQL server\mssql\data\<database name>'
I have tried the following:
DBCC CHECKDB returns the following:
DBCC results for 'SSO'.
DBCC results for 'sysobjects'.
There are 61 rows in 1 pages for object 'sysobjects'.
..
..
DBCC results for 'SSO_Config'.
There are 1 rows in 1 pages for object 'SSO_Config'
CHECKDB found 0 allocation errors and 0 consistency errors in database
'SSO'.
DBCC execution completed. If DBCC printed error messages, contact your
system administrator.
I ran DBCC CHECKCATALOG on some of the databases and got the following:
DBCC results for 'SSO'.
DBCC execution completed. If DBCC printed error messages, contact your
system administrator.
Also ran DBCC CHECKALLOC and got:
CHECKALLOC found 0 allocation errors and 0 consistency errors in database
'SSO'.
DBCC execution completed. If DBCC printed error messages, contact your
system administrator.
So it seems as if everything is fine. People connect to the databases
through Sharepoint, and that seems to be working fine.
If someone could shed some light on this problem and how to correct, that
would be awesome and i would be very greatful.
Thank you in advance.

You should contact Dell for the utilities to perform full hardware
diagnostics on the server.
The following KB's explain how to turn on an additional trace flag that will
allow you to gather more information when 823 errors occur
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;828339
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;826433
Also, make sure that if you're using /PAE, you have the appropriate
hotfix/patches at the OS level to prevent issues like memory corruption
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;838765
You can also run SQLIOStress to simulate a load to determine if you may have
hardware issues
