Crashing PC

So i have a pc that has been randomly rebooting itself a few times a week. I get under "reliability" the errors "The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x000000d1 (0x0000000141571823, 0x0000000000000002, 0x0000000000000001, 0xfffff880019b95ca). A dump was saved in: C:\Windows\MEMORY.DMP. Report Id: 021817-20295-01."

This kind of stuff seems a bit over my head, and im just wondering if any of you have any ideas on what is causing this?

PC specs are:

Asus P5N-E SLI
Core 2 Duo E5200
2GB DDR2
AMD Radion R5 230

This computer used to work great until about 2 years ago when this started happening. It was my backup computer so i never really cared, but now i would like to use it.

run memtest d1 could mean you have unstable or bad memory.

First thing I'd do is figure out if all my mobo and hardware drivers are up to date.

Update Bios.

If that does not take care of it, then I know it is a hardware problem and start doing the checks starting with the RAM, swapping out the video card, PSU.

Do a cclean.

Do a registry clean (risky but nothing to lose at that point).

If it doesn't go away, I'd reinstall Windows.

If that does not help, something is wrong with the mobo/CPU/hard drives.

Forgot to mention that i have reinstalled windows tons of times, along with using linux on this machine and it even happened then. I just updated my drivers last night, have not updated the bios yet tho, ill try that. I am starting to notice a strange disk clunking sound when it happens, and i believe it is coming from the hd and not the dvd drive (which is empty).

I will try updating the bios, reseating the ram, and then a different hdd if those dont fix it.
