this
make sense. the computer is 3 years old, not sure of memory life
expectancy.

Start with memory. Open the case and reseat the memory sticks. Does
it
boot? If not remove one of the sticks and try with just one. If no go
switch. Also you can test the memory. Use at least two of these
memory
diagnostic utilities. Let them run for some time, not just a single
pass.

I would test it by replacing the memory with a known good stick. You are
using proper anti-static precautions too, right?
