Usually you see errors in the first few seconds, and if a heap of them start popping up you know it's faulty. But if not, leave it running overnight, so it can pick up smaller chunks of dodgy RAM (if there are any). Errors don't necessarily mean bad RAM, but 9 times out of 10 that's what it is. If this is the case you need to do a process of elimination to work the problem out. If you have two sticks of Ram, take one out, then run memtest again and see what you get. If one stick has errors and the other doesn't, it's a bad stick (or that slot, swap slots too). If they both seem to have errors, you have a bigger problem. |

That is crap 9 times out of 10 it is NOT the RAM it is more likely a drive or dll etc. Is the CD in good condition? Is there another PC you could try installing it on without putting in the product key and installing Vista Business? BTW Mabix, I thought you had found a spammers forum and were going to that and not going to return here? I knew you would be back :rolleyes: |

BTW Mabix, I thought you had found a spammers forum and were going to that and not going to return here? I knew you would be back :rolleyes: I think you misunderstood me. A drive doesn't cause memtest86 to fail memory. A dll doesn't cause memtest86 to fail. memtest86 runs in its own environment independant of the OS. You might have thought I meant that 9 times out of 10 that error message meant bad memory, but what I said was that failing memtest is bad memory 9 times out of 10. Out of about 7-8 computers I have had memtest give errors for, one has been a dodgy motherboard, and the rest have been RAM. Of course, that is just from my experiences, which might just not match up with yours (which could well be much greater, I don't know). Either way, my advice involves checking whether the RAM is the problem or not. |

| 553392 | 2007-05-27 04:49:00 | If memtest finds memory errors, the memory is likely to be faulty. A bad CD or hard disk is supposed to cause read errors. ;) | Graham L (2) | ||
| 553393 | 2007-05-27 04:59:00 | From what I've googled its a driver error, to do wih an Intel integrated graphics driver. | pctek (84) | ||
| 553394 | 2007-05-27 06:47:00 | I actually typoed and should have read driveR Is your whole post about using Memtest? if so, my original post was wrong, I did misunderstand you, I though you were taking about BSODs in general, in which 9 times out of 10 it is not the RAMs fault but a file, driver or dll etc or other hardware as I originally stated. And also that 9 times out of 10 depends on the system and person whos system it is and if they OC ;) |

I completely agree with you that most times a BSOD is not a memory fault - or even hardware. I figured you meant driver, but it didn't make a difference to my post either way :p |
