I've been getting the blue screen o' death lately on random occasions, and it says something like
Memory Check/Memory parity error.
Anybody know what's causing this?

I used to get that on my old PC
Etnies gave you a good link, and I agree, I think you have a faulty RAM chip, it happens a lot on the older memory chips
Replace the RAM chip with a compatable kind, or upgrade your PC, parity style memory is very old, and will be hard to find, not to mention expensive

Downlaod Memtest, put it on a floppy and place the floppy in the drive, simply reboot, that's all there is to it.
