Hi all.

I've been getting a lot of crashes lately, which I attributed to an old XP install but over the weekend I got a BSOD that is very ram-problem-esque.

I've started a memtest86 and will let it run while I'm at work but assuming it finds a problem what are my options here?

Also I dont know if thise might add to the relevance but I recently insalled a Geminii and it barely touches the top of the DHX modules. Would this, I dont know, add to the problems? I doubt it but you know thought I would mention it. Also the problems started before I installed the Geminii.

See what happens to the Memtest run. Remember to run it with both dimmd and also with only one dimm at a time. There may be only one of them going bad. But eventually RAM does wear out and has to be replaced.

Well I did a default test run for 11h's and it was all fine. Guess its something else then :(

Dial back your OC. You can also try a repair install of XP to see if that remedies any of the problems. Also run a check of the HDD to make sure there is no corruption on the drive.
