Download Memtest 86 and test the memory. I've read reviews on

quite often. If the memory passes the tests then my bet is on the power

I'm not at all familiar with Memtest 86. But I downloaded it and
created a boot floppy and while I really don't know how to interpret
the results, they certainly don't look promising to me. I removed one
of the 1-gig sticks and put the other in the first memory slot.
Here's what I saw:
Bits in error: Total 15 Min 0 Max 14 Av 8 7
Max contiguous errors: 2
Test Errors
0 56
1 24
2 40
3 56
4 72
5 88
6 104
7 120
8 136
9 152
10 168
In addition, to the immediate left of the 6 for Test 6 was this
number: 84208028
And further to the left of the 9 for test 9 was this number 538982199
Saw something similar when I put the other stick in the first memory
slot.
Does this mean anything to anybody? Could a bad power supply cause
memory errors to show up, or is the problem that the memory sticks are
going bad, or do the results of the test show bad memory as I suspect?
Help. Please. Sorry to be so ignorant on the memory thing, but this
is something I've never experienced before. The last time my computer
went flaky it was on another mbo completely and the problem was the
power supply. PC Power and Cooling replaced it as it was under
warranty and after that my problems went away.
