Those errors point to either faulty drivers or failing hardware. Did you
update the drivers for all your hardware? If you have the latest
drivers for everything, then it is time to do hardware testing. Start
with your RAM. I like Memtest86 from www.memtest86.com. If the RAM
tests good, try with a different video card, and so on. Post back if
you need more help with troubleshooting hardware.
