I did actually run a memtest for almost a whole day, passing 8 times with no errors, but it wasn't on a live cd, it was from the grub boot menu - would that make any difference? I can't test the broken ram because the motherboard won't even boot - luckily Aria have already authorised the RMA-ing of the ram though. I'll give it another go later. I currently don't have the internet in my room, so I'm moving the whole pc to another room so I can update. I came to the conclusion that possibly I have particularly buggy/unstable updates, so maybe updating it might help. It did seem to run alright before my last update :/ Thanks =============================== Farran Lee I'm only 15 :-P
