I just wanted to thank everyone here for posting their problems and what they did to fix them. I have been getting memory errors for as long as I can remember (my computer is 2 years old) but the computer still ran fine so I didn't pay them much attention. My computer also restarts every now and then, more often when I restart my computer, its as if the power went out or some one pulled the plug, it didn't go through the shutdown process. I couldn't figure out what was causing it. When I went to install a new hard drive I started getting the error "One or more files containing the systems registry data..." and the computer would just restart every time it started and I got a few memory errors. So I removed the new hard drive and tried to start the computer but I still got the same errors. So after looking on the internet and finding this thread, I read that one person fixed it by removing all but one stick of memory (I have 2x256mb sticks). So I thought about it and it seemed that most of the errors could be caused by the memory. So I removed one of the sticks of ram and started the computer and it works ok now. It said it can't find the video drive but thats not a big deal. Removing all but one sticks of ram seems to be the easiest and most harmless thing you can try to solve this problem. I'm not sure what I'm going to do about the memory but atleast its working.

Thanks again,
Josh
