Since the error check came back clean, it may just be something fucked up in the OS that caused the problem. It booting after using older settings seems to reinforce this. If it runs okay for the time being, it could just be a fluke and nothing to worry about. To be absolutely certain, restoring the OS would fix any software problems, if it's worth the time, of course.
I'd still recommend running some better hardware tests to ensure it isn't faulty equipment. Memtest86+ will cover your RAM, and most HDD manufacturers provide free diagnostics tools on their websites. Run both, take it from there.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
