No, it did not. I think it was triggered by my sound card (SBLive)
doing DMA, which would not show up on memtest. There was a well known
problem with that card on certain VIA chipsets, but none of the

I would first reset the BIOS to defaults, then if the problem recurs,
change one thing at a time.
Are you using the latest BIOS?

Lockups under Windows are not normal, at least
since Win2K.
Try resetting BIOS to defaults, and if that does not help, fiddle with
the BIOS memory settings.
I had a similar problem with an Athlon XP system that I eventually
worked around by changing some obscure RAM timing setting.
Thanks for the hint Lee, did the error that was fixed with ram timings
for you come up in any mem tester? memtest86+? Should i just frob the
knobs with regards to timings ? ;)
