After running memtest, several errors have occurred. Does that mean I
have to buy new memory?

Hi Richard,
First of all, thanks for replying. I'll test the swap partition
with the command you sent. But how do I test the memory? Is there any
way to do it? I think I configured CMOS to do a memory check during
start up.
please install memtest86 or memtest86+ and let it run for some others.
gcc segfaults are a very good sign of memory problems - and please the
bios-'check' is not a 'check' - never was!
The bios counts the available memory - this is not a check but accounting.

You can check memory settings in the BIOS, most BIOSes nowadays have
options to change memory timings so you can set more relaxed ones and
see if the errors disappear. Also you can try good oldfashioned
re-seating of the memory modules, take them out and insert them again.
