That's a fair comment, but there's a secondary reason I suggested it, eliminating the OS as a potential cause. If it still crashes while booted into memtest86, it's much more likely to be a hardware fault, on the other hand, if it stays running overnight, it's more likely to be software.
Good point.
Well it ran fine for 2/4 passes in under 4 hours before I got fed up with waiting and canceled the rest to do it tomorrow while I'm gone so that seems promising!
