hey all i think i have a problem with my northbridge/MCH as my comp started freezing up on me randomly during gameplay.
ran malware bytes.
cleaned registry with ccleaner.
re-installed game.
switched graphics cards.
changed ram.
changed ram slots.
ran memtest and got about 20 errors in the first 5 minutes, with BOTH sets of ram, switched each to diffferent slots and still got bookoo errors.
im online with asus right now pressing them for an advance RMA...but while i wait for their 56K modem to fire up...
is there anything else that would cause errors in memtest besides (obviously) bad memory (which mine obviously isnt since both sets do it), or a bad mobo? can a corrupt windows install cause errors? i know it could cause the freeze. should i reformat before i send my mobo off? they just said they have to check cross ship stock before they issue me an advance rma. by the way their service was great.
i prefer not to reformat if at all possible. if that cant cause errors in memtest, then i am going to say it has to be my mobo.
