Miscompare at LBA. tried everything.

[DSquare]

Okay kind of long but I've had this same problem for a long time now. The only fix so far is to do a complete clean install of Vista and my problems go away for around 6 months. All the while I have upgraded mb, cpu, and ram but the problem still creeps up. After about 6 months of everything working great I will start getting crc errors in my encodes using CCE. At the same time these crc errors start popping up I get the Miscompare at LBA errors during the verify process. When I first started getting these errors I did all the normal things like run memtest, chk the hdds, perform defrags, uninstall anydvd, anything I could do. This time when it started I just got back from a week vacation and nothing was changed on my pc. The day I left I did a encode and a burn just fine. I get back and right away while CCE is doing an encode I get the crc error. After I managed to get through an entire encode without a crc error I goto burn and all goes well till it does the verify. Strange thing is the Miscompare at LBA's happen in different spots if I reverify the burn. Below is a paste from the log:

Do some discovery mode burns and see if it still happens.

 

That one will rule out your hdd because it all comes from memory.

Well I did Discovery Burns and not a single problem. Below is the log from that burn:

Have you tried new cables?

 

Might be worth doing memtest+ again for a few passes.

 

Maybe try one of those cpu stress tests (orthos is it?) too.

Well since I had similar problems in the past I figured it was something software related causing my problems. In the past (with my old setup) I ran test after test and nothing failed. Anyhow I decided what the heck and ran memtest+ and was planning on running it all night long. I started with the new 3.5 version of memtest and it would only get to 7% on the first test and completely crash and lock up the program. I then tried 3.4a and bam, with in 5 seconds I had like over 100 errors. I was like dang. I started taking sticks out to determine which stick was faulty. I narrowed it down to the faulty stick and have a rma process started through Crucial.
