Did you extract all the file from the zip file into one older of its own? It has config settings that are needed for the app to run. Then Right click the .exe file and choose Run as Admin.

I tried redoing it several times and when I run as admin it still has the same error.. not sure what I'm doing wrong.
I havent tried on this one... I figure, why mess with something that is working fine! I haven't ventured into the workings of this machine, it is only a few weeks old and came bundled ready to go. TBH I haven't done much work with computers since I was studying IT networking about 8 years ago or so.
My curiosity got the better of me and so I ran it on this computer and it works fine on this one with Windows 7.. Is it an xp thing do you think?
Hmm. it may be a compatibility issue. Try Speccy - System Information - Free Download I used it on XP before.
EDIT: The Hardware monitor says it is for XP and all x86 systems
The free Open Hardware Monitor software runs on 32-bit and 64-bit Microsoft Windows XP / Vista / 7 and any x86 based Linux operating systems without installation.

Is this your motherboard: Asus M2N68-AM
If it is you can download the manual from there.
These are the right place to adjust the DRAM and Chipset voltages. Page 2-8 in your motherboard manual.
Set to 'Manual' and change the DRAM voltage to 1.950v.Memory Over Voltage [Auto]
(Options are *Min = 1.85000V, Max = 2.24375V, Standard = 1.8500V, Increment = 0.00625V)
Set to 'Manual' and change the Chipset voltage +100mv.Chipset Voltage [Auto]
(Options are Auto, +50mv, +100mv, +150mv)
Post the voltage of the chipset, after the increase.
With the 'Bad' RAM installed, run memtest86+ again, for 7 full passes.
If you get any errors, stop the test and let us know the results.
Let us know if you have any questions.
Are you installing the hardware monitoring apps with the good or bad RAM installed?
You might need to try it with the good RAM installed.
We need to know the CPU temps, as this could be the cause of the problems.
Not entirely true. It is possible to download CoreTemp directly. Instead of clicking on the main download (currently Core Temp 1.0 RC3), click on More downloads... instead. Here you can download a standalone 32-bit or 64-bit version, plus language packs. Click on the appropriate version, either 32 Bit or 64 Bit, to download it. Once downloaded, extract the contents of the zip file/folder. Core Temp may now be run directly from the extracted folder. It does not require installation.
Set to 'Manual' and change the DRAM voltage to 1.950v
Set to 'Manual' and change the Chipset voltage +100mv
Hi Dave, thanks for the post,
That is my motherboard yes.
I adjusted the setting in the BIOS as described above, but as soon as I booted with the bad RAM I got blue screen error flash up briefly followed by a restart.
EDIT - I've been trying the hardware monitoring apps with the good RAM
Dwarf,
Thanks for that, I did quickly view that section, I'll go back and look a little more carefully for it.
