If it is still in warranty, I would contact the company. It almost sounds like you have memory or CPU problems.

Have you run Memtest? Maybe take out one stick of RAM and try only one at a time, or swap them around. If it is under warranty, you might want to do that before you start messing around. Memory is very susceptible to static electricity damage.

Fixed it... I upped the RAM voltage to 1.7 from 1.5 volts works fine
