Trem keeps crashing on me.

[Jack Bauer]

Ok so lately trem has been crashing on me a crap-load. I was using tjw for a while. Until like a week ago it was fine. Then all of a sudden I got 6 crashes in the same day. Then I got more and more. So I went to the MG client, and it was ok for a bit, but not it just crashes every time I run it. I usually dont get any console errors or anything. It just dissappears and leaves trems gamma so my screen is really bright. But lately other things seem to be crashing on me too. I wonder if it could be because of my recent RAM upgrade. I went from 1 gig ( 2 X 512) to 2 gigs (2 X 1). But I did get a console error for one of the recent crashes:

I'm totally taking a stab in the dark here, but did you update video drivers or sdl_mixer recently?

[Jack Bauer]

Nope. But I just finished running a memory test boot CD. Apparently I have some bad memory. Dont think its both sticks. So I took one of the 1 gig sticks out and replaced it with one of the other 512 sticks. Seems to be ok now, but well see.
Not sure what to do about this ram though. Spent 70 bucks on it from amazon. Thought about getting it from newegg but...meh.

[Aelita]

Newegg is highly superior.

[Jack Bauer]

Ya, definately. But I had just signed up for this months worth of free 2 day shipping thingy so I figured, hey why not just order it from amazon. But I do pretty much all of my computer shopping at newegg.
