Did you over clock your processor if so try reducing the clock a bit. Also check out "Memtest". It's a small program that lets you check your RAM thoroughly. Let it run overnight. You'd be surprised how many RAM devices can't handle the tests, even when they're not overclocked.
If you can't find Memtest on its own, lots of free Linux distributions include it in their "Live" CDs. Try Ubuntu's Live CD or the install disc #1 for Fedora or SuSE. If it shows memory errors (tests 3, 5 and 8 seem to be the toughest), try reducing your overclocking, or increase your memory times until its stable.
