Memory Read / Write errors
Last response: in Memory
Hi,
Recently my PC was crashing more often than normal in Windows, so I turned on full memory checking in the BIOS.
The system then refused to boot as it displayed a R/W Memory error.
I had 2 x 1gb modules (ballistix) installed, removed one at a time, found out which one was causing the error, and then removed it.
The PC was far more stable from this point on, and I ordered another memory module (matched).
Yesterday though, the same error has appeared again, and now the single remaining memory module is also causing the same BIOS error.
I wondered if this was a common thing to happen (i.e. both memory modules go in succession), or whether I'm just plain unlucky! ;-) ... obviously I am a little wary now about installing more new memory, as they might go pop too if something else is wrong.
I must admit, I've never had a fault with memory before, so I am seeking advice here.
Thanks in advance,
Dee

Thanks pjmelect, I really appreciate your reply.
I must admit, the instability was over the course of a week before one of them finally gave up! The 2nd went one day later.
They are of identical make/ model, and were bought at the same time, but they're only a year or so old.
I've not noticed any other problems with the PC at all though, but would I notice if the power supply was dodgy?
Again, thanks for you reply it is appreciated - I'm still wary of putting the new memory in ... ;-)
