Inconsistencies in tempdb

Hi folks
have been getting this error recently. We've swapped-out a disk which
looked to be faulty but this hasn't done the trick so we think that it
may not be a hardware issue but may be due to a problem in tempdb
itself. I have read elsewhere that if the server is restarted, that
the temp db will be recreated, but having done this, the mdf and ldf
still have Craeted dates from way before the restart happened, so that
can't have worked, so I guess my questions are...
1) Is there any way that I can check if the temp db is corrupt?
2) Should the tempdb be recreated from scratch by restarting the
server and if not how should I do this?
any further comments/suggestions would be very welcome

Restart SQL Server. TempDB is rebuilt from scratch each time you restart sql
server.

property should reflect the date/time when the instance is recycled. You can
run DBCC CHECKDB on tempdb.
