I built my current main desktop about 5 months ago (specs in sig) and I get random but regular crashes. I'm getting both application crashes to desktop (BF2 is the most frequent cause here), but I also get regular, but less frequent BSODs - again BF2 causing most BSODs, but other apps as well. I know BF2 is not exactly the best predictor of system stability, it's a relatively frequent problem for a lot of users, but something is definitely not right.
I'm running everything at stock timings/clocks because I'm trying to find out what's causing my problems. My RAM is running 2-3-2-5 @ 2T (I get the problems at 1T and 2T), which is SPD according to OCZ. My RAM part# is OCZ4002048ELDCPE-K.
The most frequent BSOD is PFN_LIST_CORRUPT, which is generally associated with bad RAM if hardware is the culprit. I've run memtest86 for 72 hours straight with no errors reported. I also ran Prime95 for 72 hours with no warnings or errors reported, although Prime95 did crash my OS another time I ran it, but I can't remember which torture test was running.
I'd sure appreciate any advice anyone can offer, I'd hate to RMA my RAM if it's not definitely defective.
Thanks
