I have an A8V motherboard and I suspect the it is defective or just the |
2 |
memory bus is defective, any input will be appreciated. |

The A8V has two DIMM memory banks (running Linux AMD64): |
5 |
A1 A2 B1 B2 |
6 |
I have 2x 512 DIMM's (same modules Kensington KVR) on banks: A1 and B1 |
7 |
Originally I suspected memory chip as it was giving me a headache from |
8 |
the start, I could barely install Gentoo on it. I run Memorytest86 |
9 |
couldn't find much; I run Red Hat memory test script, it hang up so it |
10 |
indicated hardware problem. |
11 |
I replaced both memory sticks and I was able to install Gentoo but still |
12 |
at |
13 |
time to time compiling exit with an error indicating some hardware |
14 |
problem when I'm trying to compile a larger piece of code. |
15 |
Today, I've tried to compile "qt" and it constantly keep giving me an |
16 |
error, exiting with an error. Rebooting PC didn't help. |
17 |
I removed one memory stick (running only on one in B1) and it compiled |
18 |
just fine and it keeps compiling, I swap memory sticks (replacing the |
19 |
one in |
20 |
B1 with the one I removed from A1) still running on one memory stick and |
21 |
it keeps compiling just fine, no errors. So it would indicate the |
22 |
memory sticks are OK. |

|
24 |
Should I suspect the motherboard? |
