    It could also be faulty RAM.

    Try this freeware memory tester:

    DocMemory v1.45a from simmtester.com: http://downloads-zdnet.com.com/3001-2094-1534814.html

    Go to Start

    Control Panel

    Administrative tools (it's somewhere in there)

    Open up event logger and let's see what's the problem.

    You'll love the new memory (so will your machine).
    It certainly wouldn't hurt to check your heatsink/fan for obstructions/dust bunnies while you are in there.
    There are bunches of CPU monitoring programs available, perhaps your motherboard came with one? If not, you can always get the trial version of Hmonitor and see what's what. It's good for 21 days(?) which should be enough time to decide if heat is your problem.

    Let us know what happens...
