http://memtest86.com/ Mine was perfectly stable too, until I tried a certain operation and it always failed on it. Many years ago I had a memory chip that could be written to and read from all day long, but stack operations to it would fail. The timing between operations was the problem. Stack operations did multiple fetches very quickly compared with regular data reads and writes. __________________________________ Yahoo! Messenger Show us what our next emoticon should look like.
