The picture was taken when a game was running in the background.
I'll let you know about the memtest later. Thanks.
P.S. Do I have to run it twice, for each RAM stick?

You need to run it through at least 2 passes completely for each stick to verify if each stick is good.

I'll run the memtest on one RAM stick this night, and tomorrow's night I'll run it on the other one. Thanks.

OK sounds like a good plan. Let me know if either show any errors.

[omer681]

The memtest runned 16 passes on the first RAM stick, and it found no errors. I'll check the other one this night.

[rshaffer61]

Good to hear it found nothing wrong.

[omer681]

The memtest ran 11 passes on the second RAM stick, and it found no errors. I hate to re-insert the RAM sticks - they just don't want to go in.

They only go in one way and should not be that hard to re-insert. The memory is key slightly off center and will only work turned the right direction.
Now that we know it is not a memory issue you need to consider the possibility of a hidden infection.
