memtest86 results cannot be considered reliable unless its been run for a minimum of 24 hours or 1 pass, whichever comes last. In fact, on my boxes where i found memory problems, they appeared at around the 26th hour of testing. I still suspect overheating as a more likely problem from the symptoms you've mentioned. Also, have you looked at your messages log for any clues? ===== ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lonni J.
