Hmm, Not a bad setup at all..

Do you know what the error is? Does it BSOD?

Although you can't game, try booting into safe mode and see if it's still happens with media player, etc.

You can check your RAM with memtest. It's a bootable cd that you d/l and burn.

Have yhou checked your disk with fdisk command?

Give the 3 suggestions a try, and let us know.

Haha oops..... I didn't mean to write Fdisk... I ment chkdisk -f

It checks your drive for errors........ Fdisk gets it ready to partion and format SO DO NOT DO THAT.

So sorry.
