The first thing to try would be to test the memory with memtest86+. It's probably not the memory that's faulty, but that error can be associated with bad memory, so test it to be sure it's not that. And yes memory problems can be very intermittent (it seems to work ok most of the time).

I had this error when I upgraded to Zone Alarm 6 - it would bluescreen when I ejected any USB device.
