      http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/ has handy tests on it.
      Yes, I got them already, I was referring to some CPU testing programs akin to what you'd be using.

              I feel stupid
              I didnt know that memtest86 and memtest86+ were different programs.

              So anyway I ran memtest86+ last night for about 8 hours and it came up with 2100 errors in the last 100 megs of RAM.

              So at least now i know whats wrong.

              I have to call corsair, they claim to have a lifetime warrenty...

                Quite right. I wrote a good bit of assembly and C code for them.
