Possible Defective Memory


Recommended Posts

Hello RamGuy.

i seem to be having trouble with my memory sticks. a few months ago i posted an error i was getting, i thought i had fixed it by installing the latest BIOS for my mobo, i reformated a few weeks ago, and the error is back. here's the original post i made:

http://www.houseofhelp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=32530

i've got that exact BIOS config you told me to use back then (my comp hasn't changed). the error message i get is

"FATAL ERROR!

Program c:\games\warcraft III\war3.exe

exception: 0xC0000005 (ACCESS_VIOLATION) at 001B:6F31797B

 

The instruction at '0x6F31797B' referenced memory at '0x0F6A4804'

The memory could not be 'read'

 

Press OK to terminate the application."

 

this is the exact message i get with warcraft 3, but i get the same error with world of warcraft and other games...

i've installed the lates video drivers for my video card, i also installed the latest drivers for my mobo chipset, latest bios. and still get this referenced memory error. i've done a few memtest scans and they show no errors. but the referenced memory error makes me think theres a problem with my ram.

 

i'd appreciate any help you can give me.

thanks

Well i get the same error with every game i play, i only posted the exact message i get when i play WarCraft 3, but i get the same referenced memory error with World of Warcraft, GuildWars and even old games like StarCraft. I've also got the latest service pack, that didnt seem to help.
