Are you sure of that spec? 24 degrees isn't a whole lot for a CPU
cooler. An Athlon without a fan can reach 70 centigrade before it fries
a few seconds later, and many of the coolers in use with them can bring
them down to high-20s. 24 degrees isn't enough.
ALso, I doubt it's memory -- you'd see segfaults or oopses. Bad or
overheated CPU, unstable or underpowered power supply, or faulty
mainboard is more likely for your symptoms.
