I just bought a 512M stick of Crucial ram to complement another 512M |
| 2 |
stick...suddenly I'm getting tons of crashes, reboots, failed |
| 3 |
compiles, etc. I removed the new stick, and all is well, now I'm |
| 4 |
trying just the new stick alone, see if perhaps it was the both |
| 5 |
together... |

Something odd I've noticed, however: the new stick takes longer |
| 8 |
during the BIOS memory check...i.e. the old stick (infineon, I |
| 9 |
believe) the numbers go by essentially instantaneously. The new |
| 10 |
stick, however, I watch them tick past for a good second (unless I hit |
| 11 |
ESC, of course) This is true if the two sticks are in together, or if |
| 12 |
only the new stick is in. Is this indicative of something? I'm |
| 13 |
already pretty convinced that it's a bad stick, but I wondered if |
| 14 |
anyone could shed further light for me. |
