Two things you can check that may help.
1.) Make sure you RAM is seated properly in the DIMM slots. Pull them out and push
them back in firmly. In your BIOS, make sure you are running the correct timings
for your RAM or even back them off a bit. Are you overclocked at all? Have you
tried loading the optimal default settings for your BIOS?
2.) What's your video card driver situation? Have you updated over the top of older
drivers? Make sure you uninstall all older drivers before applying new ones.
I had a similar situation when I built my first computer using a P4 2.53 with the
533MHz bus paired with PC800 Rambus. In my BIOS I had mistakenly set the FSB multiplier
to 4(used for PC1066) instead of 3(PC800) and I would consistently get the same errors,
you're recieving, after only a few minutes of running any applications.
