90% of NREs (Non Reproducible Errors) are caused by hardware problems. MemTest, albeit a good and thorough diagnostic utility, only checks for memory problem. It is likely that some other component on the OP's mainboard is failing; a component that lies outside the datapath exercised directly or indirectly by MemTest. Rgds,
