I've been having this issue where windows 7 64bit keeps freezing randomly. I've tried changing the power settings, upping the voltages for my memory, and adjusting the temperatures on the components to help prevent it from freezing. I'm at a loss of what to do next. I ran the memory diagnostic in windows, each piece of RAM froze at 07%, while one of the sticks froze at 07% and went to black screen. I'm running memtest now to confirm if the RAM is bad.
here are my specs:
G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel
Western Digital Caviar Black WD1001FALS 1TB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5"
GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3P LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX Intel Motherboard
Intel Core 2 Quad Q8300 Yorkfield 2.5GHz LGA 775 95W Quad-Core
EVGA 017-P3-1175-AR GeForce GTX 275 1792MB 448-bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16
Corsair - 850W ATX CPU Power Supply
I ran memtest on each piece of RAM individually and there seem to be no issues. The GSkill RAM said it required anywhere from 2.0 - 2.1 voltage and my mobo has it set to 2.04. I'll try and see if 2.1 works better for it.

i just ran memtest again in 4 instances because i have a quad core. I received memory error Pair 31518899, cannot store values accurately.
i also noticed my processor cores jump up to around 50C+ while running the test, which is just way too hot.
You've just answered your question,if running memory test and it fails, the ram is bad.Most cases of PC freezing is poor memory,components getting hot or graphics problems.Must say Ive never heard of G.SKILL memory.
