Only use system restore as a a last resort, ie if you are totally desperate and nigh on suicidal.
Tis better to boot from recovery cd (high hopes of that being available) and recovering from there.
Yeah ~ and who ever has a recovery CD? noooo:

Did you not find yours during your recent sort out  lol:

Four laptops and two PCs in the house and not one came with a recovery disc. One PC keeps prompting me to "create" such a disc but rejects every attempt on the grounds that "The disc is too small" ~ OK geeks ~ answer that one.

Also try taking the battery out, hold the "start" button for thirty seconds and then leave it five minutes before putting it back in. <<Serious>>>

Lapdogs are a pain.

Desktops are easier to look after.

It's not necessarily simply a RAM problem - we had a few laptops at work that did this and the old "battery out" bodge sometimes werked, like...and, no, I cannot explain why.
