It's possible. Your memory could be bad. ;-) It might not be
compatible with your motherboard. Your motherboard might have a problem
that relates to handling RAM, or the CPU.

Try your RAM in a friend's box, and memtest86 it in there. Take it to a
shop, and ask them to test your RAM (though watch that they don't just
put in a PC and see what the BIOS test says).
Cold boot, and skip straight to test 5. If you don't get errors, then,
it might be a temperature related issue.
Be aware that if you get any errors with memtest86, for whatever reason,
then your system has a problem.
