If all your drivers are up to date, you might want to download a system memory tester. Usually something that will boot off a floppy or CD a thouroughly test all the ram.

A few years ago I had unexplained crashing in one of my games. After trying everything else, I tested the ram and found one stick had a fault. Replaced the stick and no more crashes.

It seemed to mostly effect just one game, though I know I had occassional random crashes elsewhere, it was rare. Some games or apps can be more sensitive to ram problems. Also, a ram hungry game may write to a higher range of your ram that doesn't get used much otherwise.

Worth a shot.
