I'm a field tech...and trust me, RAM goes bad.
If your really up against the wall with this and you don't want to start spending money on throwing parts at this bad-boy...do a COMPLETE format, make NO attempt at the internet, try to bog your machine down with work. Choose a few things that will really get your PC working, then check your performance tab...I don't think it's a hard-ware problem, take it in baby-steps and you'll find out what the bad agent is.
I've actually seen a PC have the same thing happen after they upgraded their AOL software through the net.....these machines can be very finicky.
Good Luck
