I think i have it narrowed down to the processor however i figured i'd post in here to see what everyone thought...

I keep getting random crashes/reboots when i put my ram in slot 1 on my msi k8n neo platinum (s754) and it fails memtest. if i put the ram in slot 2, it passes memtest but still randomly crashes programs (but not as often). So i thought it was that ram slot, so i rma'd the board and got the replacement back today. put the ram in slot 1, same thing started over again. If i move it to slot 2, same thing. So I tried a different stick of ram, same thing. tried both sticks in a different machine, tests fine, no crashes etc... tried different psu, same thing. so.... processor? is this common?

thanks!
 
Defective memory controller on the A64. Try swapping it with a known-working CPU (if available).
