Don't know about this, my memory setting is usually the default
setting.

Boot from a rescue CD and run memtest86 (?, I think that's the name)
let it run for an hour and see if the memory gets errors. I have
one machine where I get odd errors when the BIOS memory is set to
133MHz (it's an old machine) but it runs fine when I set the BIOS
to 100Mhz instead.
