Rebooting and Freezing from bugchecks

My machine has been acting funny for some time now. It will randomly reboot, mouse will freeze and also the machine will hard lock. Ive tested the memory and even replaced it for heks sake. I have installed windows on another harddrive in the same machine and still having issues. The event view shows

Hello and welcome to Techspot.

Please don`t double post.

Your minidumps point to a ram problem.

Go HERE (http://www.techspot.com/vb/topic35103.html) and follow the instructions.

Ive tested the RAM with memtest and also replaced it as i mentioned. Sorry for double posting.

You have some kind of hardware error.

This could be ram/video ram/L2 cache ram of your cpu/psu/mobo

It is very difficult to diagnose a hardware problem.

The IP_MISALIGNED is usually caused by faulty ram.

After doing father investigation it turns out the geforce card had 2 caps that were buldging a little bit. After replacing the nvidia card with a ati card seems to be going good. I appreciate your quick responce to helping me out.

Glad your problem is solved, and thanks for letting us know.

Regards Howard :) :)
