Hi all, slightly OT I know, but the usual excuses apply :) I'm running memtest from a live-cd on a P4 3GHz HT desktop, with two sticks of corsair VS512MB on an ASUS P4P800-X.
It always freezes at the start of "test 3". The cursor keeps flashing, and there is no display corruption, but I can't do anything but press the reset button. I've swapped the sticks around, used either by themselves, tried different slots, - everything except completely different RAM. I've never seen this behaviour with memtest before, actually, I've never had it fail, so I don't know how it fails. It seems a bit strange that it fails the same way regardless of what I do - could it possibly be a hardware/memtest incompatibility, and not actually a faulty memory problem? (Ultimately, I'm trying to diagnose a random reboot problem, which makes me suspicious of the memory, but I'm not sure) thanks heaps for the advice, -- Iain Buchanan <iain at pcorp dot com dot au> Given some of the recent threads, the interactive discussions might need to be conducted on canvas, in the presence of a referee, while wearing padded gloves. ;-) -- Phil Hands -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
