Try testing your RAM memory

Memtest86 - Memory Diagnostic Page:
http://www.memtest86.com/

You might try testing the hard drive. I have been testing HD Tune.
(freeware). Download and run it and see what it turns up.
http://www.hdtune.com/

Select the Health tab and then double click the two page icon ( copy to
Clipboard ) and copy into a further message.

Next click on the Error Scan tab and start the Scan. It will take some
time, depending on the size of the disk. The tool has a good visual
display so that you can see how the scan is progressing.

What is the make and model of your computer? When was it bought new?
