hi,
this could be a ram problem, try downloading memtest and checking it.

it could also be a hd going bad or being too full.
try downloading the disk checking software from your disk manufacturer and checking your hard disk.
also, are there any error messages in your event viewer (assuming you are running xp or 2k)
good luck.
