| I just went through this on my MCE earlier this week. Discovered it was my RAM. I had to test with MS' Memory tester with a bootable disk. |

| Be prepared for a long long test. My 2GB takes over an hour for one pass. But as everyone said before the things that I can come up with is the PSU as #1 and mem as #2. The first PC that I built had a similar problem, would reboot or artifact in games. Turns out that I overloaded the PSU and the ram was not getting the required amps to run so it looked like a mem problem but would pass 32+ passes in Memtest 86+

| I think i read somewhere that having 4gb of ram with windows xp would cause reboots and what not, i mite take out 2gb to see if that doesnt anything and to speed up the testing. |

| I took out 2gb of ram and let the tests run for little over 3hours and no problems. So i guess my board or windows didnt like 4gb of ram. So i guess ill have some memory to sell now. |

| It could be the motherboard or the CPU.

| Wait till at least 32 passes. My Ballistix errored at pass 42 and continued on from there. Called up Crucial after I found out which stick was bad, and they told me to send in both of them.
