That was my thought too. I've already run memtest86 but part of the
problem is that the PC won't boot with all 3GB of memory in it. It even
freezes memtest86. When this started I had sporadic problems getting it
to boot with 3GB. Then I removed all but 1GB and it would boot fine. I
thought I had a bad memory module but all tested fine one at a time. Now
it's starting to take several tries to boot even with 1GB and will
sporadically reboot on it's own. I played a hunch that maybe the power
supply was going bad and not able to handle the load when all the memory
was in it but no such luck. I needed a new PSU anyway though so no
biggie. It's time to just upgrade anyway....PC is a hand me down from
the XYL, I normally put together my own. I just have to do it on the
cheap this time because of plans of getting another 1500 soon.

Sounds like failing RAM or the memory controller on the motherboard if
it is truly spontaneous. Use MemTest86 to find out for certain
