An alternative to running memtest (which is quite easy to do, I might add) would be to remove the original RAM and see if the computer boots with the new RAM only.
Alternatively, you could just run memtest, as it is included with many BIOSs now. It doesn't take long to identify problems, if there are any. I find that test #5 is the best test for finding problems, however it tends to keep you in the dark until it's finished the test. -Hal Neil Bothwick wrote: > On Fri, 18 Jan 2008 22:58:59 +0000, José Pedro Saraiva wrote: > > >> I'm sure there's nothing wrong with the RAM, >> > > How?
