Memory errors go away if power disconnected

Can anyone suggest what might be going on?

 

PC runs for several days, then reboots.

Memtest86+ shows a lot of errors.

Errors remain after restart either by Reset button or Power button (configured for 'off')

System boots OK into Memtest86+. Many errors shown.

 

However if I disconnect the main lead for 5 seconds, the problems are cleared.

Memtest86+ will not detect errors even after many hours.

 

Errors return after several days running Windows (2000)

 

PS is only 370W but as you can see below this system has modest power needs.

System is well cooled - Processor 45, System 34, GPU 53

 

Any suggestions??

Re: Memory errors go away if power disconnected

You could be having some issues with your actual voltage compared to your applied voltage. Try bumping up your memory and FSB voltage a setting or two and see how that works for you.
