What exactly do you mean by crash? |
| 11 |
complete system lockup? oops on screen? |
| 12 |
Does it happen with X turned off? |

You are mis-reading memtest, it means 30% of all the tests, but each |
| 18 |
test does go through all the ram at least once, so your ram is probably |
| 19 |
ok as far as memtest is concerned. Note that this may not be enough to |
| 20 |
trigger your kind of problems - which may have something to do with |
| 21 |
system load or disk, etc. |
