Guest Steve T Posted October 5, 2007 Posted October 5, 2007 Sorry but I can't find my post from last night. Related to "won't boot troubleshoot guide" above. Running a RAM test with Memtest-86 v3.3 that is in Ultimate Boot Disk. So far it has been running over 2 hours and I have 534 errors and counting. I'm on test #7. How long does this test program run? I have no idea whether these errors are "within range" or what.. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you, Steve T.

Guest Steve T Posted October 5, 2007 Posted October 5, 2007 Re: Repost-RAM question I replaced the RAM modules, had them since January 2007; with the original units and all is well. Booted up on first try. Will get back if problem comes back. Thank you, Steve T.

Guest Jeff Posted October 6, 2007 Posted October 6, 2007 Re: Repost-RAM question 534 errors! your ram is now a doorstop. When I run memtest 1 error is enough for me to demand warranty replacement of the RAM. You can escape memtest86 at anytime, just follow the on screen instructions. Its been a while but I think its "ESC" key Jeff "Steve T" <stumas@NOBINGOcharter.net> wrote in message news:%23RNu4x3BIHA.324@TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl... > Sorry but I can't find my post from last night. > > Related to "won't boot troubleshoot guide" above.
