Could very well be bad memory. Try taking this test. If done properly it wil take 8 or more hours
Download memtest86 and test RAM
www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/105647-ram-test-memtest86.html
Run for 8 passes
If passes try a good stick in each slot for 3 passes
If fails do the same for 8 passes.

i know about memtest, i think it may be this new antivirus i installed nod32 i noticed it happening since i installed that recently. i have yet to get any freezes or any lockups while on desktop or gaming.

Well the answer is easy. Use system restore to get rid of it to test.
or
use clean boot to test.

I just uninstalled NOD32 to see if not next step will be memtest.

But wait. The problem may not be the AV. It may be other software. If uninstall does not work, try clean boot next, then memtest.

Also i dont know if this has anything to do with it but my windows media player keeps giving me this message when im watching something on it. "Windows Media player encountered a problem while playing this file."

That could be tied into memory. Almost every problem can be memory related. Try the procedures suggested, we will weed out the problem, even if by trial and error.

If im doing cleanboot, it will take a long while as that memory thing doesnt happen everyday now, i think the windows media player might.
Also when i press in my mouse wheel and scrolled up then down it would sort of chop, now that i restarted its fine.
