Microsoft memory diagnostic

[blockman]

I ran it, and i have failed tests for LRAND and Strider6. Is this the absolute gurantee that my RAM is bad? If so, this may be the root of my problem (ranodm reboots and games shutting down). Has anyone else used this program before? TIA

Have you used Memtest or Memtest86 ?

Have you used Memtest or Memtest86 ?

those are the best, also Prime 95 for stability not really a memory tester though.

When I first ran Prime95 I receieved hardware failure detected. "Rounding was 0.5" should be 0.4" or less". I'll run memtest. I already put in a request to return the Geil 1gb ddr2 stick to newegg already.

Yea just got a bunch of errors on test #5 for Memtest so this has to be teh mother f*cker causing all the problem for me... Im bitter as hail. Thanks guys! Hope this new stick works.
