Hello debianists,
I am facing a problem after installing 1GB RAM on my laptop.
the symptoms are:-
1-clear instability with firefox (1.0.6-5) while browsing.I have tried
the
stable version (1.0.4-1) of it but that did not make difference.
2-gkrellm crashes when switching from one disktop to another (using
pager)
more info:
the entire ram is recognized by the BIOS and the kernel. I am using
Debian
testing. I have tried with a kernel compiled by me (2.6.11), but no
difference. Also with a Debian kernel (2.6.12) but no success.
Actually I am not sure if the problem is related to the kernel or my KDE.
Please CC me cause I am not currently subscribed in the list.
in peace
Mohammad
Hi,
I don't see how a troubling mem module would cause problems only on two
programs. Bad mem is likely to cause general and/or random problems,
including data corruption.
Well, testing the mem module is always a good thing to do, as pointed by
the other reply to you. Memtest86 is a nice program, let it run for a
good time (hours). I let a computer run memtest86 overnight yesterday,
completing 8 hours without errors. Its a good thing to do when you buy a
new module and need to test it in order to return it in time if it is
bugged.
I had mem probs. but because of the new mobo (epox 8vtai0). I ended up
raising the DIMM voltage 0.2 vols. The book said the default was 2.5v
but in fact it was 2.7v. My problems were just that: random hangs and
segfaults. Preferred segfault seemed to be gcc.
