Use "MEMTEST86+" - a free utility that will stress-test memory. Run that for as long as you can stand. That should pin-point any memory issues. I run it for a day or so after installing new memory.
You really need it on a bootable CD - a good one that comes with a bunch of other utilities - all free- is the Universal Boot CD, or UBCD. Just D/L the ISO and burn to a CD, boot from it.

Thanks for the info Spuggy - I think I got lucky in finding the problem. I'll check out that download and appreciate the reply!
