| 542859 | 2007-04-23 08:48:00 | OK so I am on the Memtest site.... which one do I download? | meg_h_nz (6960) | ||
| 542860 | 2007-04-23 08:51:00 | The CPU could be overheating, so perhaps try Prime95 to see if that causes the same problem? Or it could be a PSU related prob, but try Memtest first ;) I have wondered this myself, what is an optimum running temp for my CPU? |

| 542861 | 2007-04-23 10:16:00 | OK so I am on the Memtest site.... which one do I download? Download this (www.memtest.org) it is a pre-built ISO, all you have to do is burn it to a CD via Burn ISO to CD option (if Nero) and then reboot the PC with the CD in the drive and leave it overnight | The_End_Of_Reality (334) | ||
| 542862 | 2007-04-23 12:25:00 | Not sure what you mean by "burn it to a CD via Burn ISO to CD option " | meg_h_nz (6960) | ||
| 542863 | 2007-04-23 14:51:00 | You download the ISO file, then when/if using Nero to burn it to CD, there is an option "Burn ISO to CD" - select it. | Greg (193) | ||
| 542864 | 2007-04-24 05:07:00 | think it's in the tools or extras menu "burn disc from image" | dugimodo (138) | ||
| 542865 | 2007-04-24 12:34:00 | Tried and failed :| My disk drive dosent seem to recognise the Memtest CD so I tried loading a trial disk and it wouldnt auto install (I had to use Windows Explorer to find the "setup.exe" file) so maybe that is causing a problem with the disk drive? I have checked the settings in my drives properties and auto run is ticked. |

| 542866 | 2007-04-24 13:19:00 | I think this is a boot CD, meaning you set yout BIOS up to boot from CD - eg boot order floppy,cd,hdd then re-boot the machine with it in the drive. You don't use it from windows except to burn it in the first place, might give it a go myself, pushing the latency pretty hard on my RAM | dugimodo (138) | ||
| 542867 | 2007-04-24 21:25:00 | You need to set the BIOS to boot from CD, this is usually done buy getting into the BIOS right when you turn the PC on, it is the Del key for you mobo by the looks of it, keep pressing it once you turn the PC on till the BIOS screen comes up. The settings you are looking for are usually in the Advanced menu, 1st boot device, 2nd boot device, 3rd boot device etc, change 1st to CDROM or Floppy and 2nd to CDROM or Floppy (which ever you didn't set to in 1st) and finally 3rd as what 1st currently is (Harddrive, IDE0, there are many names for this one...) save and exit the BIOS, you can leave it set like this, it makes it easier if you need to boot from CD or Floppy. then you will be able to boot into memtest | The_End_Of_Reality (334) | ||
| 542868 | 2007-04-25 06:24:00 | When I enter my advanced BIOS settings I get the following: Hard Disk Boot Priority First Boot Device ........ CD ROM drive Second Boot Device ........Floppy Third Boot Device..... Hard Drive If I select Hard Disk Boot Priortiy it reads: 1) CH0 M : SATA1-5T380013AS 2) Bootable Add-in Cards What should I change? Many thanks |
