| 256593 | 2004-07-31 03:50:00 | Try PBtech in Hamilton for your new RAM. You may not be able to get the correct speed for you motherboard though so that may be an issue. | Elephant (599) | ||
| 256594 | 2004-08-01 08:06:00 | That BSOD does not look like a ram problem to me , but honestly BSOD and lock ups can be caused by so many things it's mind boggling and as you don't have another ram stick and memtest86 came up clean, I would next test the HDD, just go to the manufactures website and download there test software and do the full test (bad sectors) Next thing to check would be the video card, the card and the drivers. If the BSOD error is different every time then it is probably a hardware problem. |
