Should i just frob the > knobs with regards to timings ? ;) No, it did not. I think it was triggered by my sound card (SBLive) doing DMA, which would not show up on memtest. There was a well known problem with that card on certain VIA chipsets, but none of the workarounds helped. I would first reset the BIOS to defaults, then if the problem recurs, change one thing at a time. Are you using the latest BIOS?
