You most likely have either faulty ram or a faulty hard drive. Out of the two, faulty ram seems more likely to me.
Google and get memtest and run it for at least 7 passes. It will take many hours to run so you will need to be patient. If memtest comes up with any errors at all then your ram is faulty and needs replacement.

To run 7 passes should take more than 3 hours.
