Can this be a memory problem?

[AMDoido]

Well... i´m having some troubles with freezing on my PC (at least 5 times a day)..
And every time i turn my pc on, it goes to that scandisk screen...
No matter what i do, it always goes to that screen...

Can this be a memory problem?

Cuz there is no way for me to test it, and i´m thinking of buying a new memory... but i dont want to spend money in vain...

Ok...
I try it...

1st time it stoped on 8%...
2nc 24%...
3rd 22%...

After this i waited a long time (about 15minutes) and nothin happened...

Is this for sure a memo problem?
Can i buy a new one and all my problems would be solved?
