Memtest86 Errors

[nVdia]

Okay I was running memtest86 and I went to memory sizing and selected bios-all. 1489 errors appeard. Everytime it hits that number my system freezes totally.(no keyboard response) Please help me!

don't use that setting. i think that setting tries to run on the maximum memory that can be recognised by the motheboard which in most cases is less than you have. just use the test that starts itself with the program.

 

[nVdia]

So the first test should pick up any major errors?

 

[Nitestick]

yes. i remember vaguely that i tried running the same test once with the same results. my guess was that it was reaching at memory that isn't there

Okay but when hit that one error everytime my system freezes up. When I play games my computer freezes at high and med settings. So I thought it was the same error.

 

[Nitestick]

just run the standard test for a few hours and it should do the trick

 

[nVdia]

Okay thanks!

 

[nVdia]

Alrite I let it run for 8 hours and no errors so is that good?

 

[Nitestick]

yeah that should be fine.
