I did the memtest. Had about one million and three-hundred thousand errors. Guess that indicates a faulty RAM then, huh?

How long have you been using the power supply?

Could be it.

Edit: Missed the conclusion.

A common side effect of faulty memory is data corruption, so what I usually recommend in severe cases where there are a lot of memory errors, or memory is likely to have been faulty for some time is a clean install to clear any corruption.

One of the memory chips was faulty. I removed it and now computer runs perfectly.

Thank you all for your help! Couldn't have diagnosed the problem myself.
