    I've had that parity error with my Sager.
    My best guess at that time was that it was the RAM, but I`ve never replaced it to back up my claim...

    Could possably be casued by the video card. Have you done a bunch of video driver swapping? If so run driver cleaner and see if that helps. My 1710 used to do that once in a while. I never bothered doing anything with it as sometimes the cure can be worse than the disease.
