I agree with DarkNite; I would run MemTest86+ for at least a few hours. That way it gets warm/hot, just like it would in normal operation, and therefore could simulate any heat-related issues with the RAM.
ok the memory passed 1 time and il leave it running tell 12 MIDNIGHT its 8:30pm here so it should be plenty of time but let me point out that so far no errors

Roger that, vtech. At the very least we'll have a clearer picture as to what might possibly be wrong.

Good luck.
