    check your motherboard. Some motherboards require a certain setup of the ram. 1 & 3 slot, 2 & 4, 1 & 2 or 3 & 4... if you see where i'm going with this. Memtest won't always find a leak... I would suggest test each stick in a "working" slot. If they both work fine "separately", odds are it's a slot match up issue. Asus is notorious for this

    Yea I have tried both sticks individually in multiple slots and both are fine. I did check my mobo manual to be 100% sure that I am using the correct slots to pair my memory which I was doing correctly.

    As I said in my original post, I ran this exact hardware setup with XP earlier in the week and everything ran fine.

    Are both sticks the same Brand & Speed ? Any overclocking of CPU or Ram ?
    RAM specs are in my profile and yes it is a kit where both sticks are the exact same.

    No I am not doing any overclocking.
    type in mdsched.exe in start buton>search then reboot...see wot he OS comes up with.

    I did run the memory diagnostic tool already as well and it came up with both sticks reporting no errors
