Windows 7: What's your Reliability index score?

swell9 · 07 Nov 2009

@ satchmo:
oh no... I just bought Windows 7,, thats why.

Here's mine. Both in Vista and now with 7, I've had 'dllhost.exe' stopped working, whatever that is?

Man, you have an unstable system there.

OK... I am doing some experiments.

When I updated my Computer ready for Windows 7, I bought another 4 gig of RAM (2x2). I am going to see if that might have been my problem.

I have taken out that new RAM and put in my old 2x1gig sticks. I did originally try to have 6 gig, but I thought that the connectors in the RAM slots that had not been used before might have been dirty and was causing some grief.

Anyway, I will run it for a week with 2gig and see how it goes...

I'd suggest you to run Memtest and test your RAM sticks.

Thanks for that link to Memtest86.
Could you help me a little bit

Should I download the Bootable ISO (.gz)
or the other one (zip)
once I download it, I have to burn the ISO to a cd right?
Then boot the computer with the cd in the drive...
Am I right about all this? I have not really played with many ISO files before

Download .zip - then unpack - you shoud get memtest86+-4.00.iso file - burn it on to CD (right mouse click on memtest86+-4.00.iso file and choose Burn disk image)- it will be bootable CD. Boot computer with CD in the drive and do memtest test. That's all.

Ok.. I have run Memtest and it turns out that one of my new 2gig sticks if throwing up error (10 of them) over a 3 hour test.
My two original and 1 of the new ones are all good.
Looks like I will be contacting Corsair about this faulty RAM stick... Wish me luck!

Thank you very much to all who helped me with this problem....

If the two Corsair are a matched pair of ram sticks, I would send both back so you get a new MATCHED Pair of ram sticks.
