What security software have you got? Have you run any scans? If so, results?

Sounds like either bad ram or bad hard drive to me.

Bud, look at this Microsoft Knowledge Base Article , looks like it could be useful to you.
It basically suggests some system file and registry editing to sort out the problem so do be careful, read through it thoroughly, and ask for help in anything ur not sure about.
