Run the test with one stick of memory in. Do this to both to see what one is bad.

Thanx DX, I actually have 4, 1GB sticks, and I did some further trouble shooting last night. I took all my ram out, and tested each one individually. And found that 2 out of the 4 were throwing errors. looks like one of my 2GB kits has kicked the bucket.

Took those two out and put the good kit in, been running strong without error since about 1:30AM.

So for now the problem seems to be solved.

Thanks again for your help!
