My first thought here is you have a hardware failure...   it could be one of
numerous things.   I would download DIAG from our website and run this
utility on your system checking your motherboard, CPU, ram memory and
hard drives.   Be sure you check your hard drives thoroughly.

Make sure your hardware is not the issue first and then you can turn your
attention to the operating system...
