Hi,
I have been having troubles with my motherboard.
Half Life 2 won't start - it gives a memory read error and sometimes a
memory write error and then crashes.
Trackmania Sunrise Demo won't install - it just says that the source is
corrupt - I have re-copied and I have also tested on another machine and
it's fine on another machine - so it's the PC messing it up not a
corrupt source.
Alot of programs also give that error when installing - I have to keep
pressings retry for it to go through which is very annoying.
Also, when I installed Windows I had alot of troubles. Windows said it
related to memory - they also gave a fix which I ran. It worked but
during the install it completley froze and I had to turn the computer
off.
I had to do the fix many times before it went through and worked
properly.
When I got into Windows the first thing I did was install SP2 - that all
went fine.
When I got back into Windows after the reboot my theme files weren't
working and I had to apply the uxtheme.dll patch to view the XP style.
I have tested my memory in another machine and all was fine, I have also
tested my hard drive.
So that only really leaves the motherboard and CPU that could be faulty.
So I RMAed my motherboard and CPU and they are going back as soon as
possible for checking and replcement.
I was just wondering if anyone else has had this problem and what was
causing the problems?
Was it the CPU or the motherboard?
Hope somebody can help me!
Cheers
Craig
