I've been there before.

damn... well, i should be able to rma it. i used the memtest program, let it run through a full cycle, and nothing found in the run. i would *think* that if the memory itself were bad, that program would pick it up.
i think a mainboard issue could explain the problem i've been having.
i'm planning on building a new system after i get a couple checks from my current contract, but that will probably be about a month. i could test the ram in the new board. i was actually thinking of putting this ram in the new box, and getting the new kingston hyperx ddr400 pc3500 3x256mb for this box.
i suppose since it's 2 dimms, i could pull one out, see if i still have problems, then pull the other out. i should try that...
man, if my system goes down before i get the new box, imma be in a world of hurt
