Evenin' All!

I bought all my components from OCUK in December time, everything went together well and the system has been running sweet.

The system is overclocked (X2 3800+ @ 2.5Ghz, G-Skill HZ PC4000 @ 200Mhz (180 divider) @ 3-3-3-7). It was prime stable (ended today) for 48 hours, the memory has been tested using Memtest, so I presume everything is OK.

However, I keep getting crashes when closing programs saying 'memory could not be written) and then everything bombing out. I am also getting more random freezing which requires a reboot.

Could this actually be a memory problem, or is it more likely that my Windows install isn't playing ball? I'm at a loss and wondered what solutions your great minds will offer.

It's two sticks, so i'll try running the test on each one separately. Thanks for the suggestion.

I have a DFI motherboard and the memtest comes built in, I presume this one is OK to use? Sholud i download the version to run from a bootable CD instead?
 
Sorry to resurrect this thread, but i'm still having the same problem.
I have new ram which has been memtested and is fine, but every now and then i stil get an error saying the 'memory cannot be writtem'.

Any ideas?
 
I've used speedfan and it reports that the HDD is fine.
I've checked the temps and the cpu is at 32 (Big Typhoon), the chipset is at 55 and there is a third one at 50 but it doesn't say what it is...?

Also, there are warnins in the event viewer, but nothing documenting the actual error. I can't even take a screen print, as once the error shows, every program fails to load.
