I just put anew machine together for a client and am having some of the weirdest problems I have ever encountered. At no particular time or event I get the Memory Error blue screen of death & the machine reboots....it literally nver happens the same way twice, first reading the CD, then installing a program, then opening IE etc, etc, etc.
Here's the hardware, then Ill explain what I have tried up to this point:
Asus A7S333 mobo, AMD XP2100, 400 watt power, 2 - 512 mb sticks of Samsung PC2700 DDR333 RAM, Western Digital 80 gb hd, Lite-On 52x24x52 CDRW, Hercules Prophet Video, Soundblaster Live 5.1, Linksys etho card..
OK, First I thought itwas the RAM so I pulled out one stick at a time, seemed OK with one of the sticks in slot 1, when I put stick 2 into slot 1 the machine would get half way into windows load & then say a file was corrupted...pull it back out no problem. So I thought it was the RAM, took the 2 512 sticks out of my machine (which run perfectly) & put them in....same deal, out of the blue I get blue screen & reboot.. I have reseated the RAM over & over..no better. I also flashed the bios with the newest version..still nothing.
I have alos monitored the CPU heat...its steady at 120 F, CPU fans steady at 4900 - 5000 rpm.
I also forgot to mention this is the 5 load of windows....I was starting to think my win2k disc had gone south on me but every load is the same.....this is MADDENING!
I need to get this monster of my bench, if anyone can help I would truely appreciate it!
