BSOD after running Prime95

[Voltik]

I ran Prime95 before going to sleep and when I woke up I was getting a BSOD error (memory) and a random windows file being corrupt when starting up windows. I have never overclocked my system and here are the specs:

X2 3800+
ECS A939
Kingston 512MB PC3200 Value RAM
X300SE PCI-E
Raidmax 500 Watt PSU

run memtest86 overnight, see what happens

I don't think I'll be able to after few minutes I get a BSOD and my computer restarts immediately.

could be a memory problem or the CPU

You got one of the cheapo ECS mobo and this could be a memory compatability issue.....A Raidmax Powersupply as well huh???

I recommend you go into bios and set all items to default and then set the ram to lower divider to run under 400ddr and see if this helps any...

I put in two pieces of 256MB Corsair XMS PC3200 and no problems so far. Put in my kingston ram in another computer and thats running stable also. Now what I don't understand is why was my computer stable for 2 weeks with the Kingston until I ran Prime95?

The ECS and Raidmax are just temperary, I have until this Monday to return my ECS and 3800+ combo to frys thats why I'm testing out everything to make sure there's nothing wrong. I plan on getting another board, powersupply, RAM, and graphics card in a month or so.
