Apple we're clueless when i contacted them just so you know.
i dont have non-apple ram, i havent touched my macbook inside, its pure mac ;). but if the ram had a problem, would it occur in macOSX too?my problem is only on bootcamp

like i said my ram problem was only in windows, not in osx. Its just that your situation sounds so similar to what happened to me

I had the exact same problem, also in Windows 7 and XP. I found out, that it was an app called smcFanControl" (to control fan speeds in Mac OS) that somehow changed the SMC in my Macbook and occured the Coot-Camp driver to stop every now and then. After resetting the SMC, everything worked fine.

(reset SMC for Macbooks: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1411)

i dont have non-apple hardware on my macbook :) but another problem occured now :P like my pc got slowed down or something... maybe that memtest harmed my ram or gpu? even on mac environment, which played perfectly when using the 9600gt gpu, it now lags when i play WoW. not always, but still... before the memtest it was always running perfectly :S

memtest makes no changes to the System whatsoever. This is purely coincidental.
