So my buddy's comp. has been having some issues. Includes Core 2 duo (not sure exact model number), gigabyte (again, not sure about exact model number, has a p35 chipset), ATI 3870, 4 GB of Corsair RAM, Antek 550 or 600 watt PSU, and a typical 500 GB HDD (WD or Seagate, can't remember).

Anyway, I installed Vista Ultimate 32 (fully updated + drivers, etc.) over the weekend. Everything's installed fine and running great. But, for example, when installing something like WoW, random Windows errors will occur. Superfetch will stop working, or some other "critical" Windows error will pop up, or a "Windows process" will stop working. I have no idea what the deal is. This has happened on multiple installs of Vista. I ran a disk check and everything checked out fine.

The motherboard was returned once already (replaced with the same model). Thoughts?
 
... And test each stick, separately, for at least three hours (if you want more accurate results, at least 12 hours).

If one of the RAM sticks are bad, RMA the set. If they're both fine, try some of the other troubleshooting steps listed in the GenHard FAQ/sticky.
