How about RAM in pairs? Take two out, try it, then switch and try that pair. If it's a RAM problem, try to isolate it to a particular stick(s).
The blue screen you talk about, is it loading system files and then restarts? If so, you might have system file corruption. Sounds like a rebuild coming on... -----Original Message----- From: Matthew Small [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, December 06, 2002 12:03 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: OT: Windows restarting constantly Hi - Sorryfor the OT, but I've got a situation here - I'm running a dual P4 Xeon Compaq with windows 2K - 1024M. Until yesterday everything was great. Then, the guy who runit started it up and it refused to start. It stopped at a system message - something about the registry hive. So I found an article that describes this problem, applied the fix, and it's running again, although we have to reload drivers and programs because the registry has been erased. So he is working on it last night and he restarts it. It seems to restart normally but when it gets to the blue screen (not BSOD) it restarts again and again and again... So I've looked on google, everything seems to be pointing at a RAM problem. I've tried removing the RAM, but I can't get it to start again without every RAM slot filled. This is RAMBUS-400 I think. 1) Anybody have any suggestions as to alternate causes? 2) How can I get the machine to boot up without having every ram slot filled (there are four).
