Could this be a ram issue?

My computer been acting odd and every now and then.... it will restart it self with out doing anything.. or sometimes tell me a error happen and need to shut down window explorer, but the oddest thing is that it just closes down window explorer or whatever and then a blue screen appears saying that it will dump physical memory in: {number} and the numbers keep going up 1,2,3,4 ect ect I gave a quick read last time and it said something about a error in regards to software or hardware and I need to either go to bios or safe mode or restart the computer...

I never seen this before and its happen about 3 times in the last two days, plus the other things mention above.. and last time I restarted the computer it came up saying "there a serious issue with windows.... send error report or don't send" then it went away when I click the button and its been fine for a while my husband went on the computer and he said it just went black and didnt do anything so he turn it off...

Do you guys have any idea what it could be... I think it could be ram?

I have windows xp Home edition (2002) service pack 2
Ram: 768ram (256 x 512)
Intel Celeron CPU: 1.7ghz

I had the computer since 2003, and I got the new 512 ram in March this year and a new mother board in March as that other died, and its been clean (the side) since April when I got my burner so any ideas on how I can maybe test the ram or see what it could be..

Oh I also have ran Mech Reg and it came back clean...

Thanks in advance

Cheers

You should go into start, settings, control panels, administrative tools event viewer... Look for BIG RED X's in there... If the is a microsoft link in there.. click it and try to read about whats going on. i would assume probably a driver issue... Maybe need a bios update. Let us know...
