SP2004 is your best bet for stress testing your system. Memtest86 is by far the best memory diagnostic though.

lol, your all going to laugh at me but it was because i was overclocked

why its acting up now after a year of being oc'd with no hardware change or cooling change (i clean case and heatsink often just installed filters) no idea. dropped it back down to stock and im good,

thanks for the test's cause thats what proved it to me guys!

Why would we laugh at you for overclocking?

That can happen over time. Maybe take a look into a better cooling solution. HSF, case fans, etc.. Depends on how much you were pushing it.
