If you can screen print, you can build a computer from scratch.....A shop will charge quite a bit to repair what you and you still have an old computer.....I get emails from NewEgg and accumulate parts over time....Lots of great videos on their site to help you out...I always start with a new motherboard, processor and ram but my recycle case, dvd drive, power supply, etc...

Ok well i found the problem, after pulling one stick at a time a retesting memory I found that one RAM slot is causing the problem, not reading the stick or something. Can a motherboard be repaired or should I just replace it? I'm run now on 12g and no crashes and i have really put the hammer down. Running CDR, AI, Photoshop, Audio files and 20 web pages open with video running with no problems and temp is normal. I love this machine I just wish it did have this problem.

Though sadly neither are 100%

Tada, now you have a glimpse into a little of my frustration some days.

Test run through fine, but still problems... start pulling RAM sticks till the problem goes away and just assume that stick to be bad.  PITA

Lucky for you a reseat is all you needed... I guess I should have mentioned that you should do that.  You can also run an pencil eraser over the contacts to clean them.
