Possibly hardware problems:

Check out your memory: Run a few cycles of "memtest86"
(download from http://www.memtest86.com). You should
get zero errors.

Run a full set of hardware diagnostics. ("diag378.exe",
downloadable from ftp://ftp1.dell.com/diags, after a few
complaints, will run on most non-Dell computers.)
You should get zero errors.

Check your CPU and case temps. Make sure all
the fans are working. Dust out your computer.
