windows crashing randomly

Hi,

 

recently windows 7 has been crashing, it freezes and then the toolbar disappears just leaving the background and intel turbo boost gauge. 

 

It has white screened a couple of times recently too. 

 

So when i switch it off and reboot it does a crash dump.. then nothing at all. when i reboot again it goes into windows and works fine for 10 minutes or even an hour.

 

I had a feeling it might be a faulty ram stick and last time it crashed an error message came up saying that an address line failed in i/O and in the memory.

 

( i should have wrote down the exact wording) 

 

But i was watching a dvd at the time and it seems that it failed to send an instruction from the optical drive to the ram (thats how it came across)

 

I cant double click my optical e: drive it says i dont have permission to open it. But I can open folder to view files etc

 

 

wierd..........
