Well just a final update. Memtest crashed the system and couldn't log. The windows memetest does not give real time results. So.
Uhmm..

Pull out one of your RAM sticks and rerun the test. Do this until you've swapped out and tested them all. Still failing? Get your psu tested for free at almost any shop (we did this when I worked at compusa but then they've been gone for ages so /shrug). Or, you can buy a psu tester on amazon for $15 - or ask a friend if you can borrow their psu for a night while you loop a test. It doesn't take much of a variance to cause a box to crash.
If it still fails after this - repeat after pulling everything out of the case and running the tests on a bench (piece of cardboard works too) to rule out a short to ground in your case. If it still fails after this - then you look at replacing more expensive stuff.
It's usually one of the cheaper things, fortunately. The plus side is when it isn't you end up with a decent upgrade over what you had.
