Exclamation This error is staring to get serious

Hey everbody, I've been dealing with this error (see attachment) for quite some time now. at first I thought that this would be just some once in a blue moon error. but It still keeps coming almost on a daily basis. It seems to occur when I click a button, or perform any action in windows, however if i make that same action again, the error may or may not come back. it appears to be random. after the Error, Explorer Crashes then reloads. Ive ran Defrags, Scandisks, AdAware and S&D checks. Im trying to understand the error message. To me, it seems that it says that its unable to write some data to the RAM, or at least to something. Any Ideas on what do do?

These Are Not a match to your error but should help you to isolate the problem. (reboot each time you get the error)

The second KB article seems to be the closest one to my problem (since the first one is isolated around E-mails). If my problem is caused by the same one on that second article, i guess id have to get the hotfix from M$. unfortuately i havent had much luck in trying to get hotfixes in such a fashion. They REALLY dont make it easy! anyway, since SP2 is coming rather soon. I suppose i could see if it fixes the problem

yeah, i might do that. Its funny, because like I mentioned earlier, the error pops up only when I click a button, select an item, or when I trigger an event in windows. the strange thing is that the error's occurence is somewhat random. At first i thought it was the RAM (since it suggested a block of data not being able to be "written"). So i ran a Memtest86 test. but nothing reported faulty.
