I think most probem is your fake memory, make sure your memory is good, some times BIOS's self test is not enough, I saw the problem with MS Windows 9x, BIOS self test is just find, but when Win98 ran, it crashed, some memory bits can be read and writen by BIOS without problem, but if CPU executes instruction on that memory bits, OS crashes.
