    Please use Firefox!
    It has a integrated spell checker, and is overall better, faster, more secure, you have countless of free add-ons to make do/look the way you want. Also Firefox is free and open source.

    Once you do that, I'll be able to understand what you type, as you would have corrected your post.

    Hmm... you know what... a friend of mine had a similar problem.
    He had 4 sticks of Corsair Dominator same model, but different version as he got 2 more sticks later-on. The news ones has the nvidia ESA on them.
    In result memtest passed, same for Vista memory test, but his system where having BSOD's.
    The fix was to try different combination in placement of the RAM.

    Run IntelBurnTest. Turn error correction on, and if you don't get 100% then something is probably up with your RAM (if your CPU isn't overclocked).
    If you have a 32bit OS I recommend running at least 1600MB size test at least 8 times for reliability (assuming you have 4GB RAM)

    Error Detection: y
    Stress level: 1
    number of runs I'd recommend is at least 50 and leave it over night.

    It should pass 50 runs no problem if it's not faulty.

    Dave, did you overclock your computer? Did you undervolt your system? Is this a laptop? how about a desktop? Workstation? What is your system configuration? Did you install anything since you have this problem (try and remember, include even software that you don't think it might be the cause). Is your Windows FULLY (all updates even optional updates installed) updated? What are you startup programs (see msconfig)?

    ok uninstall the wi fi adapter, and remove the card form your system. Then restart your computer and see if the situation is resolved.
