In the last few days ive started to get errors in applications and them quiting to the desktop and an error message saying something that the memory could not be "read". The only programs ive had it happen in are Firefox and Oblivion. It could happen in other but they are the ones i use most.

I decided to use the memtest86 thing thats on my DFI mobo and i get 5 errors after the first time through. Ive never used memtest before and the pass % went back to 0 so did it start testing again or should i have just left it?

Anyway here is the error i get with oblivion

I got that message when i fitted a 3rd stick of 512. No matter what i did i couldn't get rid.
Sold the ram on as it worked perfect in my mates system and got 2 sticks and went 2gig.
All i can suggest is what Jimbo says and remove all but 1 stick and swap around slot usage to find out if it's just 1 of your sticks at fault.


Have you added any hardware/software recently. How long has the system been built.
 
I get a similar error with Guild Wars, but only since End of March.

My fault just drops out of the game (can be within 30 mins or after 3 hours) straight to desktop, nothing else is in error and I can log back on and start again.
It only seems to affect Guild wars though ? :confused:

I have since updated the nVidia latest driver, the XP latest Direct X and a few other XP updates and it still happens.

I have even backed off my Overclock on my ram to 215 MHZ (OCZ Rev 2.0) and it still happens.

One of my sticks might be duff ??
Check with memtest perhaps ?

My system has run flawlessly since December,...perhaps one stick could be slightly struggling ??

IT is totally annoying for sure !!

Any further advice most welcome !
 
I have 2gb of GeIL Value (2x1gb sticks) not overclocked my system at all. Its been running fine since Feb until ths last weekend.

After doing so searching around the old interweb it seems that this problem is universal within 2000/XP/NT for thousands of users. a lot of them say its not a hardware issue and that their memory passes memtest with no errors. a lot of people are offering different fixes from uninstalling recently installed programs to see which one conflicts right through to deleting the java runtime files.

I recomend having a read good through this thread to see if that can help you.

Ive managed to get my Oblivion and my system running fine again without this memory error but my memory still comes up with errors in memtest. Ive never done a memtest until now and my system has ran fine. Should i send it back for replacement? How would i go about this? How long would it take?

Help would be grately appreciated!
