Greetings, I posted last month message "me thinks I got a virus". Well.. I'm almost positive that I don't have a virus. I am still having the locking up problem and I downloaded memtest ISO burned it to a CD and ran the standard tests. It locked up on test 5 with errors in the 5 figures range. I ran it successfully by starting at 5 but the system crashed on 8. According to the documentation on the memtest86 web site, these are the crucial tests that shouldn't fail. Indicating that I have a bad DIMM. I read something about setting up memtest as a selection from the bootloader writing the bad memory blocks to disk and using another program/module to tell the kernel to not use that memory. Has anybody done anything like this? If not too involved I would like to try it before I buy new. In the event that this route is not feasible for any reason, would someone care to comment on the ram that they use and who make quality memory. I know that this has been discussed before, but I couldn't find them on the newbie mailing list archives. The search engine hasn't worked for me yet. If someone remembers the month I'll go back and check it out, no need to add any more bandwith like this sentence :).
