I kept getting a blue screen on loading windows even in safe mode, so i tested the ram.
Memtest gives me a pass
Gold Memory gives me a pass
But Docmemory gives me a fail.
The computer is a HP workstation and has 2 sticks of ram and docmemory fails both of them when put individually or together.
I tried some standard DDR2 but PC would just beep and not boot up. Probably needs ECC which i don't have.
so which diagnostics software should i trust?
Take worst case - memory can cause BSOD problems and the results are consistent with that.
Did you use Memtest or MEMTEST86+? Mmtest86+ is reputed to be a better test environment.
I used memtest86+
For how long?
untill it said pass. so about an hour or so.
i didn't run a loop
docmemory gave me a fail within 5 minutes.
Well unless there's a bug in docmemory I'd also tend to take the worst case scenario.
I'd also let memtest run overnight to be sure.
cool
will do
I just tried installing windows xp, and i got BSOD there during the setup. so it looks like a definite memory issue.
thanks guys
