malware causing RAM damage?

Hi,

yesterday I had lots of problems with my computer; at the beginning I saw my Nod32's icon that was red, I pointed it with the mouse' arrow and it told me AMON was disabled. Then after a crash it said Commodo firewall had to be closed. I couldn't use either normal mode or safe mode and the system kept on crashing, displaying a blue screen with white phrases written on it, saying it was to avoid computer damage as a system error had occurred.
At this point I could download Hijackthis from another computer, good luck I could install it but I'm not sure it found anything.

A friend of mine (computer tech) said, as I thought at the beginning, it was the RAM (he tested it).

I bought my computer in 2004 or 2005, before I had 2x512 DDR2 (one of them added 1-2 years ago) on Asus P5AD2 Deluxe by Asus; I think they were both 533 Mhz. One of the RAM sticks (I don't know if the "first" or the "added then") gave me problems and resulted with flaws. I think its brand was Vitesta or something.

So I decided to replace them with 2x1GB Kingston; it was last month, I think. After this episode, happened yesterday, I had to replace one of the two 1GB sticks (type: KVR667D2N5/1GB-SP at 667MHz), I think with another one identical. My friend did it. I'm a bit concerned if the RAM frequency or the mother board have to do something with it.

But I was wondering if you could check my Hijackthis log, to see if it's a RAM/motherboard issue for real or a malware issue.
By the way, could a malware problem cause problems to the RAM?
I'll paste the log.

Thanks for any help!
Scarlet



Motherboard and processor: Asus P5AD2 Deluxe with Pentium4 3.0Gigs
OS: Windows XP PRO SP3
Computer Protection: Nod32+Commodo+Spybot S&D+Spyware Blaster (at the moment I don't feel safe).

(I prefer the protection configuration I had before: Nod32+AVG+Zonealarm+S&D, Spyware Blaster, Spyware Doctore+a2, Ad-Aware, AVG anti-spyware, etc. Too many, I know, but at least nothing got into my computer.)
