Hi unregistered,

I am going EXACTLY thought the same problem.

OS: Vista Ultimate
Motherboard: ASUS M2N32-SLI Wireless Deluxe Edition
CPU: AMD 64 (Windsor) FX2 Dual Core Processor 2.8GHz
Memory: mushkin 4GB DDR2 800Mhz
Video: Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTS

Prime95 gave me 1 BSOD in 10 tests.
Haven't tested Mem86.

Windows Vista Ultimate randomly locks up while on games, and specifically when trying to launch certain applications, e: Lineage II, Norton 2008 Internet Security.

All system devices show properly installed. All drivers updated, including flashing BIOS to the latest version.

Any help is appreciated, thanks.
