Hi Again. the saga continues, i bought a 2GB DDR2 240 pin, Silly Me. when i got it home i am using 184pin, i never checked the box. So that never went in, i had a spare 1GB DDR PC3200 in the shed so i put that in and done a scan from Crucial. Heres the reading: ·With 4 RAM installed 2x 1GB and 2 x 256MB Maximum Memory Capacity: 4096MB · Currently Installed Memory: 4.125GB · Available Memory Slots: 2 · Total Memory Slots: 4 · Dual Channel Support: No · CPU Manufacturer: GenuineIntel · CPU Family: Intel® Pentium® 4 CPU 3.00GHz Model 2, Stepping 9 · CPU Speed: 2992 MHz Which I have already mentioned in an earlier post. ·with ONE RAM installed 1GB DDR PC3200 I Get The Same Reading!!!

Q: Do I have to install matching pairs? A: Yes. Your system requires that you install memory in pairs. Q: Does my computer support ECC memory? A: Yes. Your system supports ECC. You can put non-ECC modules into an ECC system, but be sure not to mix ECC and non-ECC modules within a system. Install the same type of modules that are already in your system. Thanks for your help guys, i cant do the opening of the PC now even though it is a glass one! as im just off to bed,she's beckoning me, she gets HER way as shes Due to give birth any day now:D i will try to get a look tomoz and post the results, if i have mixed RAM, i shall have to go and get some more to fix the prob, its just that its only just started happening and i have had this RAM in for about 3 years now:eek: i can only think its because i have done a few windows/software upgrades lately and it cant take it. lol i need a new all singing all dancing system. (any offers) :rolleyes: All the best, John.

Hi guys its been a while since i have used your brill site. anyway as the title says i have had a BSOD :mad: a couple of times now, i never got the parameters of the last one, but after checking Event Properties i have come to the conclusion they where both the same, heres the error codes below, i hope someone can help me out with the little info i have given. I think it might be something to do with the RAM, my system says i have only 1.50gb installed but i have installed 2x 1gb and 2x 512mb, should there be a certain way they have to be slotted in? i.e 1x 1 GB then 1x 512mb then 1x 1 gb and lastly the 512mb? Anywho, heres the error code. Event Type: Error Event Source: System Error Event Category: (102) Event ID: 1003 Date: 04/11/2009 Time: 20:46:42: Description: Error code 1000008e, parameter1 c0000005, parameter2 f794c3dc, parameter3 a5de2bc0, parameter4 00000000.
