Hi,

That error can be caused by bad or faulty ram. If you want to check the
memory, there are free programs here:

http://oca.microsoft.com/en/windiag.asp

But keep in kind that a thorough test can only be done with test equipment
at a computer shop. Software tests are not perfect in diagnosing these
issues. At the price of memory today, you may find that the test costs more
than a replacement stick.

Hey Rick just a quick question.
Whats the difference between "bad" RAM and "faulty" RAM?
lol

Interpretation. Bad generally means it won't function at all, faulty usually
refers to ram that will function, but may be flakey or does not always
function correctly.
