Really weird problems...

Hey guys....

Starting on Thanksgiving weekend, I started to get really awkward errors on both Linux and Windows XP. My temps are quite cool, staying at 32C currently.

On Windows XP, sometimes the system won't boot, with STOP CODES: 0x0000008E, 0x00000019, 0x00000081, and a couple others... there doesn't seem to be any relation between them. Sometimes I'll just get BSOD after minutes or even after a day or two after a successful boot.

On Gentoo Linux, I would get kernel panics, and random segfaults on simple commands such as ls, cd, emerge, reboot, etc. Sometimes X won't even start. If it does, parts of Gnome begin to segfault one by one. Background processes will randomly segfault.

My system specs are in my sig. I have memtested my RAM.. with both sticks in, and with one stick at a time. All pass. I can't figure out why this is happening.

Any suggestions? I still feel like it is my RAM. Currently I am running the system with one stick at a time. My first stick BSOD's after a day, and I am now trying the 2nd stick.

Anyone with my RAM have the sticks die on them randomly?

Thanks!
 
i assume you're talking the ballistix? if you searched, i don't think you would have had to ask that question..

however, memtest stable is memtest stable, but if it won't boot randomly, something sounds like it's overheating. how hot is your ram getting? i would HIGHLY advise putting a fan over the ballistix to keep em cool.
also, have you done any cpu stability tests, like prime95 with small-fft's?
