Memory Problem

[Narusegawa]

I thought I'd post for some help on a problem I've got.

I was playing some games and got crashes, checking Windows Event Viewer I see a couple of these...

Source: Application Popup
Event ID: 1801
Level: Error
User: N/A
Text: The hardware has reported an uncorrectable memory error.

Then I decide to run Prime95 and get the following in a matter of seconds

FATAL ERROR: Rounding was 0.49609375, expected less than 0.4
Hardware failure detected, consult stress.txt file.
FATAL ERROR: Rounding was 0.49609375, expected less than 0.4

FATAL ERROR: Rounding was 0.5, expected less than 0.4
Hardware failure detected, consult stress.txt file.
FATAL ERROR: Rounding was 0.5, expected less than 0.4
Hardware failure detected, consult stress.txt file.

I'm tempted to say, that looking at these 2 errors combined... my memory is fubar'd.

Or is it still worth finding a bootable cd with memtest on it?

For reference I'm running 2 x1gb Sticks of Crucial Ballistix from OC alongside a Q9300.

Any idea's guys? I hope these components haven't gone bad within 5 months of getting them.

Just curious... could this be the cause of some random IRQ_ blah blah blah blue screens too?

It was originally. Not much, 2.5 upto 2.7ghz and not going over 50c.

I'm not a huge overclocker, just an amateur.
