Bad RAM would be my first guess. Re-seat them first then use a RAM checker software (must run prior to OS load) or you can divide-n-conquer by removing pairs one at a time.

There is no need to buy or download a RAM checker if you have the original discs that shipped with the Mac. Startup from the original disc while holding the D key to load Apple Hardware Test. You will want to run extended tests in loop mode (Control+L), preferably overnight, as a single test is not guaranteed to find a RAM fault. Another benefit of Apple Hardware Test is that if it is a hardware failure other than RAM, it may find it. A RAM checker alone will not check every other component.
