re: Question about 'Dealing with Bad Memory (RAM)' Tuesday, February 14, 2006 at 8:45 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by C K (6909 messages posted) The link to that mem checker from MS gets posted here all the time if one just searches for it... Another piece of advice I am always posting is to remove the modules, take a pencil eraser and clean off both sides of the contacts. Re-insert and try your test again. You would be surprised how many modules get "fixed" with a good cleaning.
