It could be a bad chip on one memory stick.
You might go here and download a RAM test:

It *sounds* like you have a bad chip on a stick of memory and your computer
has problems reading/writing to this chip. It sounds like once it was able
to read/write to that chip but when it does the file held in memory area
gets corrupted.
