that error is due to a bad stick of ram, try juggeling the ram, removing one stick at a time to see which one is the bad one

I have cleaned ram before with an eraser and it worked, try this unless of course you just purchased it, then take it back.

Not necessarily bad ram - it could be a flaky driver. Can you get it into safe mode? If so, it's probably a bad driver.
