From most error messages its possible to find out the mem address where it happened and from that whether its a memory error or a conflict (95% it's the latter). >I would be interested to hear how others deal with memory problems, >especially if they are the toughest kind, intermittent ones. I mainly use an old version of Landmarks's ATSERV diags - You can run a hysteresis test on all addresses (with or without parity). There are 8 or so different tests you can run on mem, but they can be time consuming. Checkit's CKMEM with /T:100c option should find those intermittent ones. -- Steve Blackmore SAB Computers - On-site Archiving Service & Data Storage --------------- PC Sales and Maintenance---------------- Telephone 01744 752256 (Voice 08:00 - 22:00, Data/Fax 22:00 - 08:00) Email: steve@sabcom.u-net.com WWW: http://www.u-net.com/~sabcom
