Thanks I tested for several hours with these (already had Prime95) and run fine. Thanks for the help.

Well i'd be saying there is nothing actualy physicaly wrong with your system since those three you mention work ok.
You seem to have tried everything except new clean install. Well that and one memory stick at a time. You can still have problems with certain sticks on certain boards with perfectly good ram sticks.
So i'd go try single sticks then clean install of a single OS on a non raided drive to rule out raid issues.
I tried one stick at a time and tried getting through the far cry 2 intro without crashing. I had joy with some but not all combinations.
It seemed better with 2GB only but then the weirdest thing about this was I tried swapping stick 1 with stick 2 and...Hey Presto!
Suddenly everything seems to be working! I have no idea why swapping the sticks around makes any difference. This is definitely a 1st for me. Maybe it's coincidence and they were not seated correctly?
So far I've managed to play Bioshock for about 4 hours with no issue. What a kickass game. I messed about a bit with Dead Space and it *seems* ok.
Far Cry2 works but I'm getting this weird stuttering that others seem to be experiencing...
Anyway, thank you for your help! I'm so stoked right now!
You are a legend!
