Well, the frist thing is to pull your simms an have them tested 
for speed and check you advance chipset setting in you BIOs for 
the correct wait states and the refresh timing.  These can mess up 
your computer and give you these errors.  Also check and see 
wheither the CPU has been over clocked as the same errors can type 
of radom errors can ocur.
If all the above  checks out then get a clean(uninfected) dos boot 
disk and a anti-virus program on floppy that is known to be clean.  
Boot from a power off state with the floppy disk (write protected) 
and then run the anti-virus program.  DO NOT run any programs form 
you hard drive until you know the system has been cleaned,
Gordon
