As I know, some faulty ram can pass memtest. If you have two memory stick, take out memory stick one by one to diagnostic which memory stick is faulty. If you have only one memory stick, reseat to another memory slot may be the contact is bad.

If you are using AMD processor, reduce the speed of the DDR ram and it may resolve the problem.

I sounds like a hardware problem but you can try a system repair. --How to do a system repair.--Boot from the xp cd and go past the recovery console to the install menu. Select repair the existing installation. You won't lose any data except the xp updates. Unless you have a slipstream sp1 cd you will have to d/l sp1 and all subsequent updates. You MUST have at least SP1 installed and the updates for security reasons. Be sure the firewall and A/V is active before going online as you will be susceptible to sasser and msblaster. If you don't want SP2 go to autopatcher.com and d/l SP1 and subsequent updates.
