it 80% RAM problem, remove RAM, clean its contacts & then re-seat it..

make sure other h/w are installed properly.

Also u can try,, if there is problem with the video card,, / display card,, on heating it might be causing this problem... just check that too..

HELL yes.

you've not installed some h/w properly, check whether the Procy. heat sink is fitted properly. & see whether the Cabinet fans are working or not.

I think you aren't having enough voltage... this happens in our hostel in most of the computers when power is low... Get a voltage regulater, if this is the poblem...
