Hello, The fact that the program locked up plus you saw 18,000 error reports leads me to believe faulty RAM is the issue.
I am assuming the system has 64MB on board plus two 256MB SIMMs, is that correct? If so, I would suggest removing both SIMMs and re-running the test. If the internal memory passes, install a single SIMM, retest, remove and install the other SIMM and retest. When done, you should know whether or not the onboard RAM is faulty or if the issue is with one of the SIMMs, which you can then replace. Right now, I am guessing that the second module (the one mapped from 306MB to 562MB) is the culprit, as the operating system and whatever programs you are testing with are loading below the address of the faulty memory.

Interim captured with camera reports (for 562 mb memory) 18000 errors after running a couple of hours. Esc key does not force exit as per screen msg. How to force stop, record results, and interpret all the numbers presented? 2-Memtest hints there is a hardware memory problem, but 600X doesn't encounter the BSODs running is safe mode. I don't understand this part either If more clues are available pls send on Jeffrey Race
