Ok thanks, though the problem about warranty and overclocking might come in? To be honest only OC in the first place to see if there's any noticeable difference. Didn't 'feel' any so I just left it... all for show I guess
The dates of my last RMA for RAM:
19/07/2010
and the time before
08/03/2010
Picture attached of todays memtest. The last RAM which I RMA took 2 seconds in memtest to show way over 100 results it was like 9999
I see a lot suggesting MSE in this part of the forum. Also you can have a look at this, its a computer forum link. **********The All New Official OcUK Anti-Virus Program Thread - KEEP ALL AV QUESTIONS IN HERE********** - Overclockers UK Forums

On some systems, Vipre seems to do fine; on others, it causes problems. This is true of most 3rd party antivirus programs. Avast seems to run well with Win7 and, of course, so does MSE. There are valid reasons why third party security programs conflict with Win 7. It due to changes in Win 7's own internal security.
Can't actually see that post, only from email.Your next step is to remove one stick and repeat the test on the remaining stick. Then remove it, put the other stick in and test it. If you get no errors on either stick, put a stick in the second slot and test it. Try running your computer with just one stick and see how it does.
Why do I actually have to do this?
This will tell you which stick is bad and will test your slots in case a slot is bad. When Memtest shows errors, all you really know is that you have a RAM problem. Further testing narrows it down.
Ok fair enough about the mobo slot. Though if it needs RMA again then they go back together of course. I'll do a test later in slot 1.
Though:
1) If i get errors in Slot 1, Stick 1. Do i then test stick 2 in Slot 1
2) If both sticks in Slot 1 get errors. I guess I still test atleast 1 stick in slot 2
Forgot about this
My TRUE CPU cooler covers the RAM slots, so can't remove sticks. If I even can find the stock cooler i have no paste to keep applying it a few times :/
The answer is yes. I suggest that after the holidays, you get some paste and a stock cooler. You are going need it anyway if you have to RMA the RAM.
