Hi all. Just thought I'd let people know that you can get a free mem tester at http://hcidesign.com/memtest/ I was tearing my hair out cos my system would always crash during games, but be fine whilst running windows normally. I'd done a wipe and stripped the software and drivers to bare-bones and was positive it was a cooling problem as my AMD was running a little hot so I bought a huge fan/heatsink for my CPU. Still crashed so I tested the mem and found a heap of errors. Turns out the ram was screwy but it would only show up once the system started thrashing it (games, 3dMAX, DivX encoding etc). Hope it helps people. Cheers
