XP can be very fussy as far as system critical hardware like RAM is concerned and will take no risks if it even thinks the hardware is faulty. I had a similar fault with my home PC and removing a defective RAM stick cured it. As to stopping it occuring again, keep your PC clean, away from magnets etc and buy good quality RAM, apart from that there is very little you can do.
