This indicates a problem with your computer's hardware, specifically with the memory (RAM). You should have a computer technician examine your computer for hardware problems. Imagine it as the "Check Engine" light in your car coming on.

You can use Memtest86+, available from the Memtest86+ website, to test your computer's memory. This unfortunately isn't as simple as installing and running a program, because the program has to be run before Windows loads in order to access your memory. The way this happens is that the program is placed on a CD, floppy disk, or USB flash drive, and your computer is started from that device rather than the harddrive containing Windows. The program will run a number of tests, and when it completes a full "pass" (which takes about 30 minutes on most computers) it will start over from the beginning. Errors are logged as red lines of text, of these appear there is definitely a problem with your computer's memory that will need to be corrected, most likely by replacing the failed memory.
