My Macbook Pro keeps crashing and logging out frequently, continuously

My Macbook Pro early 2011, memory 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3, 2GHz intel Core i7, Mountain LIon 10.8.2

It keeps crashing and pushing me to "log-in" window. At first, it only happened mostly when I was using Google Chrome but then I removed Chrome and used Safari, it still happened and the times are more frequently.

I backed everything all up and reinstalled Mountain Lion and everything again. At the moment my Macbook Pro was upgraded the memory to 8GB of Corsair and it still crashed and loged me out. The Apple guy asked me to remove the 8GB memory and replace with the original one from Apple. I did and ir run smoothly for like 3 days and it happened AGAIN and since then it keeps crashing and logging out and hanging some softwares..

And today is the limit, my macbook Pro has kept crashing CONTINOUSLY and I had to restart and shut down like 5 times.

It is real annoying and affect to my works.

I just updated the latest from Apple (the java) today and I was wishing it would stop crashing but still.

The Crash Reports are most of WindowServer but today it is more: hidd and SecurityAgent and some softwares are hang like Skype, Adobe, iTune and VLC.

Please HELP.

MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2), crashing, hanging, freezing

I reinstall all over again from nothing (erase everything) with in-box Mac OS X install DVD. so now it's running in version 10.6.6, start from beginning, no datas or anything.

I can not install the Application disks. I did use the Apple Hardware Test too but it seems no use. It says that no problem found with the hardware but the Application disk can't be installed and it still keeps crashing.

But this time it doesn't bring me to "log-in" window or ask password. It just keeps out and in automatically and reporting crashing or quitting unexpectedly.

It's Macbook Pro Early 2011, it was running just perfect for almost 20 months and now this happens.

Apple guys in some trusted stores in Vietnam, they don't really know what is going on exactly with it so I can't trust nor leave my Mac there for them.

This is real frustrating.

If all the information you've provided is accurate, then you do have a hardware fault, regardless of what the AHT says.
