i ran memtest and it found 2048 errors...the psu died shortly after
i guess that goes to explain some of what went wrong but its strange because it was all working fine last time i used that pc.
*shrug*
i will switch out the psu and try and isolate the bad ram....will do a reinstall then and see if the problem is fixed. it's not like i ever use that pc anymore but still frustrating when something like this happens and there is no solution to it :(
Re: bsod with no stop error
If your psu was dying, it was probably throwing unrectified voltage down the power buses. That could cause all sorts of problems and possible failures. I suggest you run the memory tests again after you've sorted out the psu, there may be nothing wrong with the memory.
Even if further testing still says there's a fault, it's possible that the fault lies elsewhere (motherboard or cpu) which is showing up as a memory problem. Check the same memory in another system before declaring it faulty.

I have one here but you'd need to pay shipping and if I said it was bad you probably wouldn't believe me anyway.
