Dying CPU

I think I'm suffering from a dying CPU but wanted to see if anyone knows a definitive test that show's if it's poking it's toes in the air.

I've had Motherboard issues before but now I've got a new Asus SLI Premium and I'm sure that's fine. I've got geil value memory that I've checked in another machine and that's fine. The problems are that I couldn't get memory in channel A to work and now it's started throwing BSOD's to the point that the system file is now corrupt. I can't think what else it's likely to be but I'm open to suggestions.

Any ideas people?
Cheers,
Anthony
 
To be honest I want to know if it's failing. It's an AMD 3000 and so shouldn't be failing. It not overclocked, this is in standard form and I'm getting corruption so I really need to know what is failing here.
 
I managed to get an extra 20fsb out of my memory by running them in slots b on the asus. Try running prime small torture test and also try running memtest for at least 12hrs loop (24 best) when its in the asus board. Also could maybe be hard drive so run a disk test (seagate diagnostic one prob best - free download from their website and think it works with non-segate hard drives but not sure)
 
The memory controller is now on the CPU and so I think it can be the CPU in that case. I already have replaced a motherboard with that problem which wasn't rectified with a replacement. I wouldn't expect the same problem to occur on different motherboards.

I'll try and repair the corrupt file and run prime95 again tonight to see what happens.
