devries Posted July 1, 2005 Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 Better test it: http://www.memtest86.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniewicz Posted July 1, 2005 Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 If you only have problems when running Windows, then it is unlikely you have RAM problems. However, I would still run the memory test devries has linked to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NaturesOdd Posted July 1, 2005 Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 Thanks for that, although i have run memtest86, a MS mem test and 2 others and all came back with nothing so i think it was something to do with Windows, although that problem has been solved because im running just Linux now and its running like a dream :woops: Thanks for the help :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zenarcher Posted July 1, 2005 Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 I'm really glad I am not the only one to experience this same problem. I've had it with not only one machine, but three of them....two being absolutely identical. All are custom machines I've built. I kept receiving the same error message with Windows XP Pro SP2. Every "expert" insisted it was a RAM issue. I've tested and switched RAM and done everything I could think of, but could not resolve the problem. Likewise, after switching over to Linux....I've not had one single problem in over five months. I contine to insist that it is a Windows issure.
