Awesome, I had been looking for a nice guide like that for memtest..since when I ran it one time before I had no idea what I was looking at haha. Thank you.

Ran memtest86+ v1.7 3 passes no errors, than ran the newer version 2.11 1 pass no errors

Update on what I have done:

Ran memtest86+ for 4 passes, 0 errors
Ram prime95 stress test for a couple hours, no errors

Installed my computer in a new case, properly this time:
*GPU temp dropped 20-25 degrees C! It was only in the 70s before anyway under game load, but now it is around 50C during game play
*CPU dropped 10 degrees as well to 49C during gameplay

After putting everything in the new case I booted up and went to the game where I can usually force this error to happen (freeze/restart). It was freezing or restarting within 1 minute of playing, but I played for an hour this time, and then it restarted, and I went to bed. Temps weren't hot, voltages were good. At least according to my motherboard monitor that came with mobo..I'll make sure to check with another program to be sure.

Next step I am going to reinstall windows just to rule that out, plus it's a free test that doesn't require me buying a part to replace.

If that is not it, I am thinking PSU(even though numbers look fine on monitors)/Mobo/GPU/CPU(even though prime95 stress test ran 2 hours no errors)

Any thoughts anyone?

Update: I reinstalled Windows. Still froze/restart randomly, now mostly during play of the game Aion.

I tried manually setting the RAM to manufacturer specs, same thing, also tried raising NB voltage to see if that helped. No luck.

I'm thinking GPU or Mobo now?

I have a multimeter I might test out my power supply with, even though all the voltages look good while playing the game it freezes or restarts in.
