Before you reformat, I would also try Memtest86 to make sure your RAM is OK. Do a HD check using the manufacturer's utility as well just to be safe.

What the message means is that Windows did a "core dump." If you know how to read it, you can go into the file it generated and that might pinpoint the problem, I think.
