A while back, I upgraded my PC to 2.5GB Using Oc/UK Value DDR 400 RAM, so I currently have 2x1GB Oc/UK RAM & 2x256MB Geil Value DDR400 RAM
Ever since then I get regular lock ups, usually once every 2-3 hours and it only happens while I'm enjoying a good game of Battlefield 2 or getting nice lap times R-Factor
-it never seems to happen when I'm doing bad!!! 
- Sods law! 
I've narrowed the problem down to the RAM as the problem dissapears when I put my 1GB (4x256) back into the rig or indeed, have just left the 2x256MB Geil RAM sticks in place. If I remove the Geil RAM and just have the Oc/UK stuff in, the lockups persist.
Trouble is, I have ran Memtest and the like to exhaustion and am bringing up no errors with the 2GB Oc/UK RAM what so ever.
I've tried the RAM in different slots and it is currently (according to my POST screen) running in Dual Channel mode.
Any advice appreciated thanks.
