Aside from what's been said thus far, this problem could also be due to a corrupted swap file or bad drivers. To check on the former, start in Safe mode, disable the virtual memory and restart. If this was the cause the system will boot normally . Put the swap file back the way it was before. If drivers are the issue , go from Start to Run and type in ASD. You could also run the System File Checker(SFC as a Run Command).
