Johnyb62's post in Parity check crashes system was marked as the answerSwapped out RAM, still didn't resolve the issue - so was looking at replacing the MB next. As it was advised above to replace my controller (SATA port multiplier) I took a punt with this first. Low & behold this cracked it, was able to run a parity check in one go without a system crash. Well chuffed.
So it looks like whilst unlikely, it was the dodgy controller card causing the issue. Thanks to those who posted suggestions.
This was the card I went for, based upon the AMS1166 chipset as advised in the recommended controller post. I dont have a x4 slot on the MB so had to go with the x1. That said the speed of this thing compared to my older dodgy card is a big jump (parity check went from around 36MB/s to 100MB/s)
