Hi,
As you reformatted/reinstalled and the problem still occurs, you likely have
a hardware issue. Disable non-essential peripherals (either through the BIOS
or by disconnecting them), then run the system for a while to see if it
still happens. If not, then the problem is one the ones you removed. If so,
then you're going to need to dig deeper. As you've checked the ram, you need
to suspect system timing, power supply, hard drive, processor, and possibly
the motherboard itself.
