I can't say anything for sure until I've tried some different memory. At least the post about this other fellow's problem gives me hope that the memory is in fact the culprit because I have gone through every other possible hardware and software issue that I can think of.

I'm only running two gigs of the Ballistix right now and it seems to me that the blue screens happen far less often. I've tried swapping sticks around and no difference (4x1).

Memtest is also inconsistent. Sometimes the memory will do an eight hour pass with no problems and other times I'll get lots of errors.

I've been over the mobo with a magnifying glass more than once and no visible problems. Temps are very good. I believe that I'm running +0.3 on the memory and I've tried many combinations (I'm not at home right now to check).

So I think I'll pick up 2x2Gb of Redlines and try it out. At this point I don't think it could hurt and it might save my sanity.
