Computer crash errors

[Guest]

My computer had been having semi-regular crashes (going straight to a blue
screen) usually of a 8e or more often of a d1 nature.
When I had tested my ram it had showed consistant errors in the ERand test
phase.
Finally today I pulled out one of my sticks (DDR PC400 Ram, 512 each) and
tested them each individually. Neither of them showed any errors.
I put them back in, and together they again showed Erand errors. I switched
them to the same effect, but in the switched position the computer
experienced frequent, and sometimes immediate crashes, once a 0x00000050
error, and the others all 8e errors.

I've switched them back, and it seems to be on it's regular course again,
probably will have occasional d1 errors. I am currious how all this is
possible? I want to know what is wrong with my PC. For a while I was
thinking maybe it was the video card after all, but with this turn of events,
I'm thinking RAM still. Thank you.

Do they match i.e. were they bought at the same time? What is your
motherboard -manufacturer / model?

Belarc Advisor ( freeware ) is a useful tool for see what is on a
computer:

The CPU is an AMD 3000, 333 athalon XP "Barton"
The mother board is a VIA KT400A ASROCK K7VT4A+
The Ram is from Kingmax and on the invoice it actually says PC 3200, but I'm
not sure about that.
