Edit: I also have lots of problems with right clicking as alot of the time it says windows explorer has stopped working. then it restarts explorer.exe and the taskbar comes back etc. but then its just a loop if i right click soon after!

any overclocking of the ram? how many sticks of ram and what make/manufacturer/type and how many sticks do you have to make up the 4gb (eg 2x 2gb 4 x 1gb)
and is that the offline (bootable) version of memtest?

Re: Really bad problems with graphics card and ram!?

i need to know the exact type of ram mate/model number for example mine is OCZ PC2 8500C5.....there is a reason for this , some high end ram runs at 2.1 to 2.3 Volts especially the OCZ stuff now your motherboard bios by default will be sending out 1.8 Volts the the ram , it may be a simple isuue of upping the voltage to your DDR to solve the problem , if you can tell me exactly what ram you have i can see what voltage it runs at
