Ownedandout,
To learn more about your ram chips,
CPU-Z http://www.cpuid.com/download/cpuz/cpuz_153_setup.exe
Gathers info on your CPU, Motherboard, Memory, System
CPU: Name, number, Core stepping and process, Package, Core voltage
Internal and external clocks, clock multiplier, cache info
Mainboard: Vendor, model, revision, Bios model and date,
Chipset (northbridge and southbridge) and sensor
Graphic interface.
Memory: Frequency and timings, modules specification, vendor,
serial number, timings
System: Windows and DirectX version.
If you haven't messed around with memory and cpu settings, then 1st try to reseat memory chips if problem persists, then:
Memory chips are ridiculously cheap. To be honest when fixing a machine my time is more important than the cost of a couple of memory chips. Once you have known, good memory chips then if you want to experiment with swapping out chips you won't be set out of commission because you can always reinsert the good chips.
