Hey all,

Bout 4 weeks ago I built my own PC for the first time:

Q6600 @ 2.4ghz
Tuniq Tower
2GB Crucial Ballistix 6400 @ 2.2v - Crucial recommended.
P5K Deluxe - Bios 0202
BFG 8800GTX OC2
Enermax Infiniti 650W
XP Pro - Latest updates.

According to CoreTemp my temps are currently at:
TJunction - 100c?!
Core #0 51c
Core #1 52c
Core #2 54c
Core #3 54c

Yet my PC seems to be BSOD'ing quite frequently. Once when joining a BF2 game, just when you click "Join Game" it BSOD's. Sometimes on WoW. Then earlier on today with a "kmixer.sys" error. After googling that, it found it was a memory problem. Being a bit of a n00b at this, whats my best bet to find out the cause of it? Maybe Memtest86+. I have the ram placed in both Yellow slots on my MoBo IIRC.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

You answered your own question - run Memtest and see the results.
 
Yeh, run memtest on the RAM, if it fails try again on individual sticks. Make sure again that all the voltages for the RAM are right too. The tjunction thing is irrelevant i think.
