i just built 50 machines and cloned them. i changed the standard windows logon screensaver with a "peanuts baseball game" screensaver (long story) and on 3 or so machines i get an error saying the peanuts screensaver has created an access violation in module xxxxxxxx etc. its only on a few machines. is this bad ram?

....the crows seemed to be calling him, thought caw....
 
It is either a bad stick of memory, check it with memtest86, or it is the fact that the timings are too tight in which you could be getting a tRAS violation error.

Try both out and let me know what is happening. It could be something else but those are the first two off the top of my head.
