Chances are it's a memory problem but we would need more information regarding you system specs to make any sort of accurate assesssment.

Well first I would clear the CMOS and load BIOS defaults. If you still have trouble then insert one stick of memory at a time and run Memtest86 from a bootable cd. Do this for all the memory modules and see if any are faulty.
