System specs:
AMD Athlon 64 3000+ S754 (130nm, 512KB cache, Clawhammer)
Asus K8N-E Deluxe
1024MB (2x512MB) OCZ DDR400 PC3200 Enhanced Latency RAM (http://www.ocztechnology.com/products/memory/ocz_el_ddr_pc_3200.. might not be the same revision as what they're selling now)
So, I've experienced random crashes with my system that I had mostly attributed to software flaws (mostly running games, and crashing to the desktop). Recently, I've started doing some video work, and I started experiencing crashes (full blown, the whole system goes down) when running DVD Decryptor or AutoGK.
I decided to reinstall Windows (get rid of that year or so old winrot), and I still experienced the same problems. Once, when Windows started up, it said Windows had recovered from a serious error.. and the "report this error" gave me a webpage that said to run a memory test. I ran the software supplied, and got errors.
I then ran Memtest86+, and got errors as well:
RAM: 201MHz (DDR 402.. yeah! free overclock! :->) CAS: 2-3-2-6 single channel
Test1 - 0 errors
Test2 - 48 errors
Test3 - 254 errors
Test4 - 960 errors
Test5 - 16 errors
Test6 - 1024 errors
Test7 - 283 errors
Test8 - 6 errors
Test9 - 0 errors
Test10 - 0 errors
I don't have a digital camera handy, so I didn't take a screenshots.
Anyone know what the problem is? The obvious answer is one or both of my memory modules are toast, but are there any other explanations/anything I should try before doing an RMA?
