You should have posted the error message number, but you probably have
hardware problems. There are three things you could try.

1) Check the RAM. There are free programs here:

http://www.simmtester.com/page/products/doc/download.asp
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.

2) Check BIOS settings, especially if you changed them from the defaults.
If the CMOS battery is dead, then your custom settings may have been lost
when the system is powered off. This may be the source of your hardware
problems, the defaults (which is what are loaded when custom settings are
lost) may not support the way your hardware is currently connected.

3) Did you install anything recently? Try disconnecting it.
