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 |
4 |
sticks of corsair VS512MB on an ASUS P4P800-X. |
5 |
|
6 |
It always freezes at the start of "test 3". The cursor keeps flashing, |
7 |
and there is no display corruption, but I can't do anything but press |
8 |
the reset button. |
9 |
|
10 |
I've swapped the sticks around, used either by themselves, tried |
11 |
different slots, - everything except completely different RAM. |
12 |
|
13 |
I've never seen this behaviour with memtest before, actually, I've never |
14 |
had it fail, so I don't know how it fails. It seems a bit strange that |
15 |
it fails the same way regardless of what I do - could it possibly be a |
16 |
hardware/memtest incompatibility, and not actually a faulty memory |
17 |
problem? |
18 |
|
19 |
(Ultimately, I'm trying to diagnose a random reboot problem, which makes |
20 |
me suspicious of the memory, but I'm not sure) |
21 |
|
22 |
thanks heaps for the advice, |

Given some of the recent threads, the interactive discussions might |
27 |
need to be conducted on canvas, in the presence of a referee, while |
28 |
wearing padded gloves. ;-) |
