Are you overclocking? That, too, can cause this sort of problem. So much is going on at shutdown that a timing error can occur, with this type of error message -- or if you are "pushing" your RAM timings, same thing. In those cases, I wouldn't worry about it.
Overall, it doesn't sound like a serious problem.

I'm no frickin genious but this doesn't take one it has nothing to do with a driver. Your ram if fitted properly has no problem it is your primary hard disk just run system restore if that doesn't work replace the drive with a new one then boot from the secondary and do system restore again.

Dvs, it's not a good idea to dredge up long dead topics, especially when the information you're adding is wrong.
The error message mentioned is indicative of device driver problems, not of poor RAM or of a faulty drive.
