Hi Rafique,

Most likely problem is bad or failing 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.
