| 455756 | 2006-05-18 14:09:00 | Hi all . I have this problem of whenever i boot up my com for the 1st time, after running for about 15-20 mins the computer will crash with BSOD showing a Memory_management error . subsequent boot up or if i double boot (before the BOSD appears) everything seems to be running fine . any idea what can be the problem? thanks in advance |

| 455757 | 2006-05-18 14:12:00 | Download memtest86 from here www.memtest86.com you can get it as an ISO, burn it and boot off the CD, run the test for 24 hours, if it fails you have faulty memory. | Deimos (5715) | ||
| 455758 | 2006-05-18 16:10:00 | Thanks Deimos, but my memory chip is a brand new one . . . could it have been something else? anyhow i think i will just run the test and see how it goes . |

| 455759 | 2006-05-18 17:06:00 | Memtest came back fine... no errors... looks like it may be something else. |

| 455760 | 2006-05-18 19:15:00 | I'm a bit suspicious taht it's an operating system or installed program generated prob......so if you have a spare hdd setup a clean install on it of windoze then see if the puter does the same thing after that........if it does then it 's hardware, if it doesn't then its software..... | drcspy (146) | ||
| 455761 | 2006-05-18 19:50:00 | Also it is best to let Memtest run over night or longer at least | The_End_Of_Reality (334) | ||
| 455762 | 2006-05-19 00:27:00 | Memtest came back fine... no errors... looks like it may be something else. I concur, an hour isn't really long enough. it doesn't matter how new or old your memory is, it could be faulty from day one, or it could go pretty much for ever, its just one of those things. |

P . S i have already reinstalled a fresh copy of windows XP (i am running SP2 btw) and the problem is still there . probably a hardware issue . |
