It all started today when I was chatting with a friend of mine. I was messing around a bit with Microsoft's SAPI 5.1 engine and it's speech recognition. Suddenly it just seized to work, but no problem, I'll just reboot. I had this before with Microsoft Dictation Pad, and I just had to reboot.
So yeah, I rebooted. Suddenly error messages popped up from nowhere. Explorer crashes, Dr watson crashes, my mail program crashes, WinRAR crashes, everything! What the hell happened? I only shut the machine down! It doesn't make sense. This is weird even for a Windows operating system.
I tried to do a sfc /scannow but that didn't do the job, so now I'm here.
The only option I see now is to format my hard drives :/
The error messages I get are like this one (I made a screenie):

Oh. Right.. It's Dutch. It's something like, "The instruction at "0x66006041" referenced memory at "0x66006041". The read or write action ("written") on the memory has failed."
Do I have to reformat my harddisk now, or can this be fixed on some way?
EDIT: Oh, I forgot to mention I ran Memtest 86+ today for several hours as well. No errors at all. I can't test with one memory module, I'm afraid, because this motherboard only supports dual channel.
