I've had the odd problem since adding more RAM. I'm sure it's the memory, but if I take it back and they test it OK, they'll charge me. Does anyone know of a way to test RAM? Any free downloads?

Cheers!
I downloaded it and ran it for a few hours (!). No problems reported.
You have saved me the cost/embarrassment of taking it back to the shop.
I guess it's just not compatible with my mobo.
