try getting a memory test tool, it could be one of your memory sticks is faulty, in that case youd need a replacement.
other than that the only things i can think of is that you're overclocking too much, but you didnt specify that

Recently I had a lot of "... at 0x000000. The memory could not be "read" " coming almost every time I closed an application..Booted into safe mode, didn't change a thing, booted back into 'real' mode and it disappeared. Good luck - It's usually bad ram..
