| 488454 | 2006-10-01 19:46:00 | I have run Memtest-86 on a computer. The installed ram tested bad. I put in some other ram that I knew was good, it also tested bad. I took the ram out & put it in another computer, ran Memtest-86 again without any errors. Does this mean the original motherboard is malfunctioning? |

| 488455 | 2006-10-01 21:02:00 | Could be the cache memory in the CPU. Go into the BIOS and disable the CPU cache and run memtest again. If it passes you need a new CPU. Don't see this very often but I did have one the other day in a notebook. Or it could be a faulty RAM socket. Try testing the RAM in another socket. |

| 488457 | 2006-10-01 21:21:00 | different motherboards run different timings. your motherboard could be trying to run it to fast. also what cpu's where the 2 mobo's running? generally incompatibilities show up straight away, failures are a different story however. |

| 488458 | 2006-10-01 21:36:00 | the computer I am testing is a HP710a, ASUS A7V-ML motherboard. The customer brought it in because the games were freezing the computer. Simple/light games: SpongeBob & FreddiFish... I tested the CPU with HotCPU Lite - the tests were OK. I then went to test the ram & got failures. |
