| 503913 | 2006-12-04 05:32:00 | So the current situation is that with the original RAM installed the computer will only load Windows to the point the System32\drivers\TDI.sys displays now, whereas with the new RAM it just kept rebooting? Do you have your XP install CD? As Pctek suggested, it sounds like you have also corrupted Windows so you could try a Repair of XP which will replace the system files but leave your personal data alone. Apart from changing RAM, you didn't update or install any software just prior to this? |

| 503914 | 2006-12-04 06:03:00 | Both ram react the same way now. I'm not sure if I do have it actually, I'll have a look. Is there anyway I could get another one without buying a new windows disc altogether? | not.my.s0ck (10995) | ||
| 503915 | 2006-12-04 06:05:00 | Any borrowed XP disk will do for a repair job | kjaada (253) | ||
| 503916 | 2006-12-04 06:15:00 | Jen, I've found the disk and booted up with it. Now how do I repair windows with it? | not.my.s0ck (10995) | ||

Thanks to everyone whos helped me sort this problem out! I've decided to try get my money back for that ram I bought. It must be corrupt. |

| 503919 | 2006-12-04 14:08:00 | I cant run memtest, I cant run anything. The computer just plain wont boot now regardless of what ram I have in it. How can I run memtest? It sounds like you might have zapped your mother board, or the SIM with static electricty when you were putting the new RAM in? Did you earth yourselfe first? Woops, I guess I should have read all the way to the bottom first. |
