Conan 1, went to the URL that you said and read the description, I am runnning Win7 Ultimate and looked in the Administrative Tools and there is the memory tester, it is the basic version I am sure, so I ran that and my memory passed, I'll download the version that you recommended and run the standard rest to nite- I am going to pull the memory out af anothe machine and see if it makes a differsnce, but as a side note, this computer has a ASUS MB, socket AM3 M2N68+, the board was a replacement for a bad one, so I have no faith in ASUS anymore, IF the MB is the problem this will be the 4th ASUS MB MB bad in 4 years, pity I remember the P2B that I had, lasted for 5 years, thought that it was a pretty good product back then
