Okay, I downloaded memtest and i got thouth 130% coverage an no errors on my RAM. The first link, I wasn't sure what to dowlnoad as there was a list of about 30 different downloads.
I ran scandisk in safe mode, but it didn't finish completely. Every time if got to the "scanning disk surface [data area]" it restarted. So maybe I need a new hard drive.
Thanks for all your help guys. Feel free to give me any other suggestions.

I find that running Scandisk is often interfered with by running programs causing it to restart. I pull my internet connection out as well as running SafeMode so there is less chance of interferance. I also run disk defrager after scan and this is also interferred with by running programs. I also use Diskeeper Lite which is free and does a better and faster job than Windows defragger. There are other 30 day trial defraggers out there. I also use PCPitstop to analize my computer. My machine is 4 yrs. old and not very powerfull so regular maintenance is needed. I'm no expert but this is what I do.
