First thing I would do is boot to a dos prompt and type:

Regedit /e Reg.txt (Exports the registry to text file.)

Regedit /c Reg.txt (Imports the text to registry.)

If it says the registry is corrupt i would seriously start thinking about formattign and reinstalling.

If all goes well it should take out all the bad entries when it re-imports.

But yes RAM is a major cause of registry problems. Definitely test your ram.
