If anyone can shed any light on the matter that would be great.. Thanks.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Could be a combination of bad memory (Which you found) and a bad motherboard RAM slot (maybe slot 2). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
