Hello guys,
As the topic says, I have weird problems with memtest. Long story short - I can't make the new wersions (2.11 for 86+ and 3.5 for 86) to work. My rig is: E8400 3.0 (didn't OC yet), 2x2 GeiL Ultra 1066 5-5-5-15 & EP-45 UD3R mobo.
It goes like that - firstly, I have created bootable CD with memtest86+. Booted with it and it hangs on the "Loading........." screen. Nothing helps, only hard reset. I tried to play with both CPU and memory voltage, mhz's and timings - with no success. Okay, I thought, lets try memtest86 - they finally updated it to version 3.5. Booted, it started fine (yippie!) and crashed like 5 seconds later on Test1. Same story as above - voltage, timings etc. - no help.
And than I saw there's the option with memtest 3.5 to run it in the old 3.4 version. So I did - it didn't identyify my CPU properly (says it's Pentium III with unknown L2 cache size), but it worked pretty darn well. After 1,5h of testing it didn't show single error. Tested the RAMs once again - and again no error.
Now, I can't really say if the rig is stable - I'm waiting for my HDD to come in few days, so I can install Vista Home Premium x64. I did try to start the instalation tho and it went perfect to the moment I had to choose HDD
But should I be worried about stability? CPU seems to be the issue - in memtest86 3.5 it has been identified properly (Core2D 3mhz). But maybe - maybe - there's a known issue with newest version of memtest and there's a way to make in run smoothly on my rig?
Thanks a lot in advance for help!
