Right lets start off with this being my first post on the forums 
So hello all 
Sorry for the long post guys, try and decipher it best you can
Right - lets start with the specs
Motherboard : Gigabyte P55 UD3
Processor : Intel I5 760 (Overclocked to 4.8 GHz)
Cooler: Corsair H60
Ram : Corsair Vengence (8GB) ***It was OCZ Gold 4GB***
Graphics : AMD 6850
Sound : Xonar DX
HDD : 1TB Samsung F3 Spinpoint
PSU: 520 Watt Antec HCG
Samsung Blu Ray Drive
Right the problem is, the pc started to randomly restart - No BSOD just a message when i reboot that the pc just restarted from an error with no other informaton.
The first thing I did was virus scan, Spyware etc and then update all drivers and windows update.
I thought that may of worked however I was not too sure seeing as certain games (Metro 2033, Total war 2 and Battlefield 3) worked all fine but every so often would slow down to a complete halt then speed up.
I was not to sure what it could be but I tested power and is working fine, checked voltages all seem perfect even put all to stock speeds and it still had the same symptoms.
I then thought it may be the RAM (This is using the OCZ Ram) so i downloaded Prime 95 - this refused to run. I then tryed Memtest86 and got around 12 errors in the first 15 minetes then all hell broke loose I got around 65 thousand errors within seconds and it was rising QUICK.
I reseated the ram and tryed again exactly the same so I thought 'faulty ram' joy -_-.
I returned the ram and then said when they tested it they got no errors (they claim they tested i for 4 hours) so as Im speaking its on the way to manufactor's for a replacement.
Well this is the next confusing part, Ive just purchased off a friend some Corsair Vengence RAM he loaded up Memtest on his and showed me there is no problems with it and he was right not 1 error for around 6 hours but soon as I put it in my sytem in the first hour I got around 3000 errors on the RAM (but Prime 95 did not report any errors which i found very odd).
So you can see my dilema is my system just ruining the RAM or is there a fault elsewhere?
Any help will be very much appreciated
Thanks guys,
