Does

|
| My specs are:
|
| Asus PKQ Pro
| E8400 Core-Duo 3 ghz
| OCZ PC8500 memory
| Asus 4850 videocard
| Two 250 gig WD SATA 1 hard drives
| Creative Xfi soundcard
| FSP 700 watt Power Supply(in use for year and a half)

test your system using a memory tester, such as those included in the
Ultimate Boot CD, a free download. Test each memory stick separately,
then together if none fail separately.
