I don't know. I really don't... Like I said earlier, each stick tests out fine when its the only stick installed. I added a 2nd stick and retested. Again, fine. Swapped that 2nd stick for the 3rd stick and again it tested fine. Put all three in, went home for the night, came back today and an @$$ load of errors greets me. In addition to the errors, the case sat open all night in the air conditioning, yet it was so hot I was sweating just standing over it. One of my coworkers suggested mismatched timings but neither of us can find the timings on the ram (probably wore off, or in my case ... melted off). Either that or he thinks I need a 4th stick since it might be dual channel. I don't think its the timings cause its worked for a long time and it can't be the dual channel thing cause I've always had the 3 sticks in there. I'm really really out of ideas.
Oh and I already had reformatted it, so there is no recoverying the system files anymore.
