I'm glad that I found it because my PC has been playing up so much lately its been irritating me to death, to the point yesterday that it wouldn't even POST. The Abit BIOS codes really helped me there, +1 rep for debug screens.

Anyways, I did memtest on one of the two modules, and it started erroring straight away!?!?! I left it for 5 minutes and it got over 500 errors!!! However the other module was clean for 8+ hours.



I wonder if my memory has always been that screwed, I can't believe that it didn't crash more often (although it really did crash alot).

I have always suspected that there was something wrong with my rig, but put it down to unsucsessful overclocking (even though the RAM was at less than stock speeds). So have had it running at stock for the past few weeks. Maybe this discovery will in fact mean that my overclocks were in fact sucsessful and it was the RAM causing false positives to all my stability testing!

We have a kit of Cellshock memory on the test bench right now... here is a memtest shot of it on test #1... Jason was running this kit at 800MHz 4-4-4-12 at the correct voltage and got this:



When it was all said and done I think it pushed close to 8 million errors.

Wow, 8 million errors, ive never heard of Cellshock and apparently im not missing much lol.

I <3 lifetime warranty's. When Crucial gets my kit back to them they will dispatch a brand new kit to me. (At least from what the guy on the phone said it sounded like that)

So my PC will be out of action for the most part of this week (If not all week), good in some ways, bad for folding etc.. So have a fun week everyone, though i guess my addiction will demand that i find some alternative way to at least make 1 post this week.
