Most live CD's these days will come with memtest86 as a boot option, that would give your RAM a good workout and tell you how it looks. It could be that the RAM itself is perfectly fine, but just not working too well with your motherboard hardware, I have seen this many times before where in one system the RAM is completely unusable, but in a different system is perfectly fine. > [ .... ] > >> -- >> alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com > > -- > Alan Mackenzie (Nuremberg, Germany). > >
