Exclamation RAM trouble

Recently, like in the past week and a hlaf my PC has developed a probelm. Here it is:

Im not exactly sure what you call it but i know it has a name, its the electro-static noise that lower brand RAM makes when its accessed alot in any one time. That noise. Well, it does that for about 5 seconds every minute or so, and it stops everything the PC is doing, if im playing musioc in winamp or mediaplyer it stops and goes all jerky if im typing a message it stops typing and resumes after the RAM has finished going crazy.

I cant burn CD's anymore because when it gets about a minute through the RAM goes crazy, makes that hissing noise that you get and then the burning program reports a buffer underrun error and stops. If im scrolling down a webpage it will freeze and the webpage goes all screwed cos its not actually scrolling when i scroll down.

I figure its some adware or virus calling shit load of memory references at any one time, but i scanned and scanned in safemode on everything!!! uninstalled every program that i didnt see necessary in control panel. Stripped the PC down to just bare windows components and it still makes the noise and freezes everything.

I dont see it being corrupt/dead RAM cause tis not crashing or throwing up any errors in the event viewer or anything. I even started XP in safemode and ran it like that for 30 mins, it happened in there too.

Im reallly at a loss, i didnt do anything different to ti a week ago to bring on the change, i dont know whats going on...... HELP!!!
