| | Memtest and WMD test won't run What does it mean when both memtest86 and WMD test stop running and reboot after 3-5% on first pass? This is a scan of Dimension 2350 which hangs badly running either XP or Windows 7 with 1gb of RAM and Pentium 4 1.9ghz: tested both 512 sticks in both OS's together and indiv, replaced with old set of known-good 2x 256 sticks but the test also stops and reboots after starting each time. Edit: Kingston says the 512 sticks are PC3200 but should be PC 2100 causing overclock that makes tests go haywire. Question then is why did they run fine for 3 years before hang started during infection of XP, even after cleanup of XP, then after wipe and install of Windows 7; and why do the old known-good 256mb pair abort the tests too? Do we have to assume RAM is hang culprit because it aborts every test in every config? Or could mobo be at issue? Last edited by gregrocker; 15 Dec 2010 at 12:49 PM.. |
