I'd really like to know whether or not using more than one module has been the source
of the problem for anyone else. I just upgraded my single module (factory installed)
of 256k with two 512k modules (from crucial.com) and had the same problems with Stop
errors. I have NEVER had them before, so it's freaking me out. I removed one of
the 512k modules, so test run them and see if one was causing a problem...but now
you've made me wonder if it's the fact that I was using both slots. *sigh* There
are so many "possible" solutions...it's making my head swim.
I don't buy the "overheating" thing for my system. I'm in Mississippi, and this
room has been AT LEAST 15-20 degrees hotter on July afternoons than it was yesterday
when I started having the problem.....within 1hour of installing the new RAM modules.
I took out one of the modules last night, and turned the computer back on this morning.
I've been running for 8 hours with no problems. I even left the 512K module in
the 2nd slot, whereas my old 256K module had been seated in the 1st slot. Things
look fine now...but...I'm going to run a tester on each module....and, if I don't
find errors on either one...I want to know if I'm just stuck with just being able
to use one memory slot.
This sucks
