I have repaired literally thousands of PCs. 9 times out of 10, especially in light of the weather we have been having, the problem is related to electricity. Either poorly conditioned power - due at least in part to over-loaded circuits, high-loads and or drops on the line, or over-voltage. The average house is grounded by one thick copper lead clamped to a grounding rod. This connection can be jarred loose by a weedwacker. Having no ground can do all sorts of wierd things.
At any rate, your lock up was probably caused by a part failing. t may have failed for many reasons, heat, electrical problems, mfg error, ion storms, whatever, but something failed. Most likely, given your error code, it was the RAM. Whoever sold it to you probably has a bench checker for the RAM, ask them to check it.
