Is it stable if you run memtest86? That's about the simplest "OS" you

Yes, memtest86 runs for hours and shows no errors. I can't turn on ECC,
though, and when I select "Advanced Options" it says "Chipset not
Supported"
ECC support is enabled in the BIOS, but maybe I just don't have it. I'm
not much of a hardware whiz and I can't open the computer up with the
kids around.
Anything else I could try?
