So flaky ram can do this

[timmy222]

My ballistix 2 gig , One stick if faulty and has caused the following problems for me.
Stops me cd drive from reading files, reg errors, bsod and windows update from working.
When the naff stick is removed all is fine.
I never knew about stopping a cd rom from reading files, and the windows update, how weird.
Anyone had such silly things like this due to ram problems?.

all is well

Crucial have send me new ram, same spec.
All runs a treat now.
Can't fault the rma system.
Wish more companies had a returns policy like Crucial.
10+ for service.

Did they send you 2x1Gb sticks, usually people are getting 4x512MB sticks back ]
