I received the ram this evening, two 1GB sticks. I removed my 2 original sticks and replaced them with the new ones. Right away during boot up, system was unstable. Dr.Watson errors, spooler call errors, blue screens, application errors, etc. Ran MemTest and nothing but errors.

This is about the Conficker issue isnt it?

The RAM from that topic right? So it wasnt infected RAM just dead RAM with all sorts of issues. Thanks for the update.

The "Conficker" issue ? Bad RAM as suspected I see.

Correct

Guess it would have helped if I added the original topic

It's a shame, two dead sticks, 2GB

Ouch, that's a lot of errors.

I want to thank Osiris for receiving and testing the RAM as I know that it is time consuming. I also want to thank Mak for offering to be a backup tester. I am relieved that the virus could not in fact write to a volitile memory and that the RAM was just rendered dsyfunctional.

Ouch look at those errors. I figured the ram went bad. There is no such thing as "infected ram". Just faulty ram. I have several bad sticks myself. I use them for decoration.

We are here to help and are more than up to the task of testing everything and anything out. We like that kinda stuff.
