You need to verify BIOS settings are not Overclocking. You should then
run a good memory tester.
Take memory out of the equation! This is loaded before Windows. (DOS)
Make sure you turn this off as it will loop forever.

If you are wondering what is wrong...Take memory out of the equation.
Means do this and see if it is memory if not look elsewhere.
The download creates a floppy that boots without Windows so you can
check it to see if it is hardware or software creating problem.
The program is a burn in program and will do the tests over and over
again so if you wait for it to complete it will run forever. It is a DOS
program so just reboot without disk and all will be well.

memtest86 takes ages.. isn't it easier to just change the RAM..
or if you have 2 sticks(a good idea), to try with just one - and then
the other one.

i am also facing some what similar problem , what i do is to take the
ram out clean with clean piece of cotton cloth , and put it bak , my pc
starts working well at least for two or three sessions.

i woud suggest to take your processor out change the thermal grease and
get the speed of fan cheked , some times this happens due to
overheating of processor.

Hope for the best.
