clonetek Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 Hello, I've got some odd issues that I think my ram is causing... Just built this pc a little while back (almost 2 months), and just started having problems getting it to boot/start. It wants to lock up on the WinXP splash screen. :(: A tech buddy of mine said it sounded like memory problems, and directed me to download the memtest86 program. I made a cd with the ISO, and after letting the program run for a while, it counted 733 errors before displaying "Unexpected Interrupt - Halting", and locking up. :eek: I bought all the parts from newegg, and the memory was purchased as a "matched memory pair" kit. Stating all of this, I have several questions.. Should I run more diagnostic tests on the memory? If so, what else should I do? In the event that the ram is bad, who do I need to go through? Newegg or Corsair? If just one module is bad, will both need to be replaced due to them being a matched pair? Thanks in advance!

clonetek Posted June 21, 2006 Author Share Posted June 21, 2006 Turned out better than I was expecting... Talked to a guy & he went through the bios settings with me, then ran memcheck again. No errors after 2 passes. I'll be rebooting the pc from time to time to see if it locks up again. I'm glad I didn't have to send the ram off! :): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
