Thanks, Daniel. No I haven't since it hadn't occurred to me: the machine is new and I just added some good quality Mushkin memory. I'll try memtester, although the documentation says it won't be able to test all 8 GB of my memory. Then I'll try memtest86+ when I'm not using the machine. It's been a long, long time since I've used these.
