| 580745 | 2007-08-14 02:23:00 | I just acquired a new / used computer for a customer. I has 382 Mb DDR ram I decided to test the ram before giving the unit away. I am using MemTest 86+ v1.70 Each time I test the ram it stops/locks on test 3, pattern 80808080 I have tested each piece of ram (256/128) individually with the same results. Is this an indication of other hardware failure? |

| 580746 | 2007-08-14 02:55:00 | I'd try with another memtester, the M$ one (www.softpedia.com) is actually quite good. If both sticks are doing the same thing it could be that that version of memtest doesn't like your motherboard, i've seen that before. Or that the mobo has..issues. Good luck. |
