Message You need to get a memory testing program. When things like this start happening to my machines, it's almost always been a stick of memory that's gone bad. Get something like memtest86, from: [ http://www.memtest86.com/ ]

If you find a bad stick, and replace it... it doesn't mean your things are going to immediately work again. (although chances are they will) Things may have already been corrupted beyond repair, which will necessitate a reinstall of many things.

This is the least destructive thing to do first. I would do this before running scandisk or defrag unless you have good reason to believe you have a disk going sour, otherwise defrag will fux0r your data as it blows it through the bad memory. (worst case)

Good luck,

-Ryan
