thanks guys, it looks as though one of my sticks may have an intermittent fault, still not sure why its going h/w reserved rather than just not reading at all. Is this normal?

I sugested you to check your ram in post #2 using memtest - Ram halved by windows

Anyway what "might" be happening is as the system heats up, the RAM may fail. That's not unusual for failing/intermittent electronic equipment.

Edit - I see you said you ran mestest so....
