Hi Robert,

Thanks for the suggestion but it did not help :-(

I'm not an overclocker so I'm a bit of a nood when it comes to knowing what each
memory setting means. But this RAM in the motherboard's 'automatic' setting gets
set to 667mHz, 5, 5, 5, 15 and 1.84v. I tried boosting the volts from 1.84 to
1.92v and then 1.96v and also tried lowering the speed to 533mHz and in every
case the system booted but Vista64 is unstable and reboots unexpectedly when
working with most programs after only a minute or two.

Curious, have you tried any other 64-bit OS on it, to see if the same issue occurs? Why not try to download the latest Ubuntu Live CD ISO, and burn it to a CD and try to boot into it? Also Ubuntu comes with a MemTest feature which you can run also.
