PC keeps crashing

[icor1031]

It's only given me an error once, usually the screen goes black until it restarts.

What's causing it?

Hardware error. Best guess is the ram.

 

[icor1031]

Each stick of RAM passes memtest individually.
Together, they fail.

CAS, etc. are slow as they can go. Even slowed some other stuff.
Tried ganged and unganged.
Tried underclocking the RAM.
It has plenty of voltage.

Why does it fail!?

A timing problem. Does it happen in a pure DOS mode? If so, then its for sure a hardware problem. Have you added or installed any new software? If so, it could be a driver issue.

Diagnosis of such issues depend on how much trouble you are willing to go thru. The general approach is to pare the system back to some fundamental level to where it runs well then keep adding back components/software. Otherwise there is not enough information/history provided to suggest much more other than taking it to a specialty repair shop.
