I've had this box sat at my parents for about 2 years now, after it started becoming very unstable. So with a fresh hard drive i started to install ubuntu on it, but some of the icons (fwd) where corrupt.
Is anyone aware of a simple app, that can sit in as a boot loader, which does a very simple memory test of all the RAM? This memory was so damaged it was obvious from the first second of memtest86+ that it was nakard.
I'm not talking about an exhustive testing, just a 0x00 and a 0xFF would suffice.
(also any ideas on why one stick of RAM would suddenly die?)
