| 1247901 | 2011-12-10 20:10:00 | With memory errors like that, it could be either faulty memory Sticks, or the DIMM slots themselves are dirty or faulty. Might be a bit of "testing" but in a case like that I would do two things to make sure. 1. Put in different known good memory and see if they show errors 2. Put the suspect memory in a known good Motherboard and test - see if the errors appear. Either way usually one will show whats faulty. Hardware issues will certainly cause software issues as well, so the Hardware needs to be sorted first. One thing I'm keen to get is a stand alone memory tester But cant really justify the cost :crying |

| 1247902 | 2011-12-10 20:26:00 | I did test them in different slots - leaving them in the slots they were originally in. Just had a look at those memory testers - bloody hell they are expensive - especially once you add all the adapters you would need! |
