Well OK here an update.
Turns out it didn't much like the older RAID driver I installed in addition to the video and sound. This is probably what caused the crash.
I reinstalled from Scratch and updated all the drivers to the most recent (actually SP1 installs all the latest drivers automatically except for the X-FI card) and so far the system is stable. Playing abit of THQs DOW and THQs THE PUNISHER seems good now.
One bit about the memory. The RAM was fine, the problem was my motherboards latest BIOS has a bug that would set the memory voltage too low (1.8) by default for people installing more than 3GIGS of RAM. I had to take one module out, overclock the MEM voltage to 2.30 volts in the BIOS and then reinstall the memory.
So I know for 4 GIGS running stable on VISTA SP1 (knock on wood). Took the entire easter weekend to diagnose everything.
