Setup defaults loaded Any pointers, suggestions ? 1) memtest86 from memtest.org Use this program, because it tests _all_ of the memory. Memtest86 is a self-booting program, that can be loaded via floppy or ISO CD. Memtest86 moves around in memory, so that all the memory gets tested, even low memory. 2) In Windows, try running Prime95, and see is you are "compute stable". http://www.mersenne.org . Select "torture test" mode. If the computation is inconsistent, the processor could be overheating, processor or Northbridge could be bad, or there is a memory fault that memtest86 isn't picking up. Prime95 is a load tester, and is also used to determine whether the CPU HSF gives sufficient cooling. HTH, Paul |
