Is this a new build? Have you changed anything recently, whether software or hardware? Sorry, but we need more info.

It's usually ram, but bad drivers and the like can cause it as well.

It could be unstable OC or bad driver of some sort (possible video), try safe mode.

I've recently had a shit load of problems while overclocking my BFG 680i with a new Q6600. Throughout the the process I have received the exact message about 10 times because of an unstable overclock. Does it come up regulary? Try lowering your FSB with small increments to see if it reduces the frequency of error. Might help.

reinstall the video drivers (i recommend using a driver cleaner first), and if you have ntune...remove it.

it can be your mobo going too fast.. the southbridge mostly i think or the pci bus..

it is some kind of hardware instability.. its also memory connected but can be the things that have to talk to the memory not just the memory itself.

have u googled it..??
