Are you doing any overclocking? If so, remove it and try again.
Try reducing the speed of your memory
Try memtest86 and/or prime95 torture test.


No i'm not doing any overclocking. I'm a bit of a newbie, how do i
reduce the speed of my memory?


Memory speed is controlled in the BIOS. However before you start to
play
with the memory settings run Memtest86+ (not the +, there are two
versions
the + version has a better understanding of A64 systems).

http://www.memtest.org/


I ran memtest86+, it went on for 2hrs and 40 mins before i stopped it.
The first time it ran it got stuck before the blue test screen! At the
second attempt, in the 2 hrs and 40 mins i got 3 passes and 0 errors,
does that mean my memory is ok?
