Thank you everyone for the information and help. I'm currently trying to find a CD-R to burn memtest onto. I'm assuming I want 86+ since I have a 64-bit system.
I think you mean you want x64. x86 is 32 bit, and x64 is 64bit
I second that, bad hardware. Go download memtest and a hard drive diagnostic utility from the HD's manufacturer. I bet it is 1 of the 2.
It would be much easier to just pull out sticks until it works. If none of them do, try some others. As a system builder, he might have some.

Oh and LordBob75 I LOVE Windows 7. Despite the problems I've had, there's been enough times where it works for me to explore it and I have to say it's pretty much amazing.
Glad to know! It is a great OS, and my favourite ever.

I recently built a new computer system in early March with a Windows XP OS. It worked perfectly for about a month and then began giving the BSOD regularly, at least once a day. I initially assumed that this might be a problem with my newer hardware not being compatible with XP so I upgraded to the Windows 7 64-bit RC. It again worked extremely well for awhile before it started to get stuck in a continuous startup repair loop. I received advice on another forum that the problem might be with my power supply so I replaced my Rosewill 500W with a Corsair 750W about a week and a half ago. The computer has been working flawlessly until early this morning when it started giving me consistent BSODs even in Safe Mode. I ran a disk check which found no problems and then performed a system restore which didn't fix the problem. The BSOD error messages also seem to be different every time. At first it was IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR EQUAL = a BAD DRIVER - Unsigned has been this way since Whistler and then it followed up with various ones including BAD_POOL_HEADER and PAGE_FAULT_IN_A_NONPAGED_AREA = normally this mean you have crosslinked files & or bad sectors in the hdd.. With the exception of critical Windows updates I made no recent changes to my system before this started happening. Anybody have any idea as to what the problem may be?
I do hope this helps. and you do know how to fix these problems? YES.
If you need more help we shall try 1 fix at a time.
1. Windows 7 has one of the best MEMORY Diagnostics built in.
2. Windows 7 has one of the very best HDD diagnostics and repair utilities built in.
So why does he need to find and download an burn on a disk...?
I didn't say he needed to download anything, I was just telling him becuase he was thinking he needed x86 for 64bit. I was simply correcting him so he didnt get anything in the wrong format if he were to get anyhting.
