    Have you tried beating your system hard with something like Cerberus
    (search google with key words "cerberus" and "ctcs") with the system
    running in text mode? Cerberus was the only program to reliably report
    memory failures on my new box half a year ago. All the others (including
    memtest86) showed no errors, but still I had occasionally lockups and
    programs crashing. A new memory module fixed everything.
