Unless there was a problem with installing the game you have defective RAM.

I agree with ebackhus and pharoah - it sounds like faulty RAM. Run that memtest program pharoah linked, and see what you get. Make sure you run it for several hours - at least 10 cycles. Let us know if it finds any errors.

You can either burn this ISO to a disc as an image, or you can burn this pre-compiled version as a data disc. Then go into the BIOS and set your computer to boot from CD ROM, put the disc in the drive, and start your computer up.

To set the computer to boot from CD ROM, enter the BIOS by tapping Del or Delete when the system is starting. Find "Boot Device Priority" or something similar, and change the first option to "CD ROM" or similar. Then press F10 and type "y" or select "yes" to save changes.

If you need any further instructions, just ask.
