I ran memtest last night...

I ran memtest last night on my dad's system. He has 256 mb pc133 generic ram. I've been encountering some stability problems so i decided to run the test. It ended up with about 300,000 errors after 3 hours.. Do you think this is bad memory?? hehe =)

most likely YES

 

[fiask0]

Are you sure though?? I mean how can I be sure? It was only 300,000 errors. I only have a hunch that it's bad memory... I mean cmon.. only 300,000 .. if it had been 400,000 then for sure i would have known.. *grins

I agree. I would replace the RAM.

I did not get any error for over 10 hours with my RAM.

have u pulled the stick out and cleaned the slot and the contacts? try that reinstall and rerun the mem test. if u still get alot of errors replace it.

haha, no sense of humor or sarcasm.. of course it's bad ram i have new stuff coming

Generic RAM is not a good idea. Make sure the new stick is a good well known brand name.
