memtest question

Recommended Posts

i'm having an issue so i thought I'd run memtest

 

the system is an AMD athalon 1200 with 100MHZ FSB and 133 ddr ram.

 

i Started running memtest when i went to bed and 6 hours later it was on test 7

 

reported NO errors,

 

but I was just wondering if it should be taking that long.

 

i realize the pc isnt a speed demon but i'll use it as a server as long as i can!

I had this problem intermittently with my 2008.0 install. I was able to rectify this by changing the Plug & Play OS option in my bios from NO to YES. You also might want to experiment with ACPI boot options from within MCC.

I agree with daniewicz that you should experiment with the ACPI settings. As your PC is relatively old, you may actually cause more issues that you are solving.

 

I would recommend experimenting with ACPI by using the kernel boot options than making them in MCC as they are more easy to recover from this way.
