Do you get different results from the following queries?
SET enable_seqscan TO on;
SET enable_indexscan TO off;
SELECT * FROM table1 WHERE id = 586;
SET enable_seqscan TO off;
SET enable_indexscan TO on;
SELECT * FROM table1 WHERE id = 586;

What's the output of the following query?
RESET enable_seqscan;
RESET enable_indexscan;
SELECT oid, ctid, xmin, cmin, xmax, cmax, *
FROM table1
WHERE id >= 585 AND id <= 587;
If you get the error 'column "oid" does not exist' then you've
created the table without oids, so just omit oid from the select
list:
SELECT ctid, xmin, cmin, xmax, cmax, *
FROM table1
WHERE id >= 585 AND id <= 587;

Faulty hardware is one possibile explanation.
