Alternatively, you could just run memtest, as it is included with many BIOSs now. It doesn't take long to identify problems, if there are any. I find that test #5 is the best test for finding problems, however it tends to keep you in the dark until it's finished the test. -Hal Neil Bothwick wrote: > On Fri, 18 Jan 2008 22:58:59 +0000, Jos=E9 Pedro Saraiva wrote: > > =20 >> I'm sure there's nothing wrong with the RAM, >> =20 > > How?
