Just a guess, but it looks like some memory bought the farm. Try removing
some memory DIMMS in turn to identify the bad memory. This may cause
problems with the IOS you are running, so you may have to use another
image. In fact, you'll probably have to load this new image via zmodem,
because the IOS you have in flash won't typically run if there's not
enough DRAM to hold the uncompressed image. See CCO for info on loading
images via the console port.

If you have SmartNET, I would just RMA the box and let Cisco sweat it out.

Well as they told you before it looks like the RAM has gone bad.
You'll have to replace it with more RAM certified for the 3660
platform. SmartNet will do this for you if you have it.
If you don't then buying new RAM is probably in order.
