I agree one would hope on a new system it wouldn't be an issue.

Do you change anything (updates etc.) between the 5th and 6th boots ? If not, 
this is starting to sound like flaky hardware to me...

If you do, then what - If it is anything to do with grub/kernels I still 
maintain it sounds like you have part of your filesystems that are needed by 
grub, written to a part of your system grub cannot reach for whatever reason.
