I have an A8V motherboard and I suspect the it is defective or just the memory bus is defective, any input will be appreciated.
The A8V has two DIMM memory banks (running Linux AMD64): A1 A2 B1 B2 I have 2x 512 DIMM's (same modules Kensington KVR) on banks: A1 and B1 Originally I suspected memory chip as it was giving me a headache from the start, I could barely install Gentoo on it. I run Memorytest86 couldn't find much; I run Red Hat memory test script, it hang up so it indicated hardware problem. I replaced both memory sticks and I was able to install Gentoo but still at time to time compiling exit with an error indicating some hardware problem when I'm trying to compile a larger piece of code. Today, I've tried to compile "qt" and it constantly keep giving me an error, exiting with an error. Rebooting PC didn't help. I removed one memory stick (running only on one in B1) and it compiled just fine and it keeps compiling, I swap memory sticks (replacing the one in B1 with the one I removed from A1) still running on one memory stick and it keeps compiling just fine, no errors. So it would indicate the memory sticks are OK. Should I suspect the motherboard? -- #Joseph -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
