Hi,

How reliable is the WMDT, just testing a couple of sticks and they report "hardware problems detected" almost straight away, another couple of sticks run through the test fine.

best to use memtest.iso

K thanks, so far so good.

So if I run through MEMTEST and everthing is OK but I get a failure on Prime95 then I should suspect the CPU rather than the memory?

prime95 stresses the cpu and ram as i recall, what was the temps? and is it O.C'ed

You can get prime failure due to not enough voltage on ram chipset or cpu unless you mean all at stock.
