Ok, yesterday I ran the memtest86+ utility and indeed it showed some errors on the test 5 of the test series (but the test 8 showed no errors). And this is what the memtest86 webpage says... "There have been numerous reports of errors with only tests 5 and 8 on Athlon systems. Often the memory works in a different system or the vendor insists that it is good...." What do you guys think? Can I be relatively certain that it's infact the memory modules that are just not compatible with amd64 + VIA K8T800 cobination? I think I'm going to replace the ram since when I bought it I was going for some "abit approved" memory, but the seller convinced me that "this is as good but cheaper" :) I also ran the prime95 utility from mersenne.org and that also fails in the first test. Don't know what to make of that, but somethings definately not right. Anyhow, I want to thank you all alot for helping me out, this is what I call great support :) Thanks, juhis -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
