The computer in question was/has been crashing during gaming and internet browsing if I remember correctly (its been a while since I actually used it). I decided to try and find out what is wrong with it now and put it to good use. At first I ran memtest86 on all 4 sticks of ram. I came back after a few hours and found a lot of red errors. So I started trying to narrow it down to which stick of ram was bad. I ran each ram separately for about an hour and no errors came back. I then took a stick of ram and ran each socket for an hour...still no errors.... I decided to run the 4 sticks again...this time, no errors. If I recall correctly I tried this the first time that the computer started acting up and had the same results...first memtest comes back with errors but the following memtests show nothing. What could be happening here?
Specs: Core 2 Quad 6600, 4gb ddr2, 500gb hd, 8800gt gfx, evga 780i mobo
Any ideas?
P.S. Silly me, more detailed specs in sig
Thanks!
