...we got to the point of installing windows after waiting around for it to format a 320GB HDD, so far so good, but the windows install kept crashing out at random files, the disc was brand new and so was everything else. After several attempts we got a BSOD, while in install!?!?!? Looks like faulty RAM, so we tried swapping the RAM round and independent sticks but no luck. I relaxed the timings to 5-5-5-15 and still no luck.
There was plenty of airflow in the case as it was, but later that day my mate decided to get a house fan and blow it in the case with the side off. What do you know, the install completes, so he takes off the fan and closes the case and the RAM passes 6 hours of memtest with the timings back at 4-4-4-12.
What the hell is up with that? He's had no problems with it since.
