WOW - thanks mate.....now i just hope the other stick dont die.....my machine was freezing alot with just the one in - probably an issue with my board not likeing single channel - the other stick passes memtest though fine......
PM'ing you now
Thanks again

scottath

Dont know if it is related to the other stick dying or just my board hates single channel - if i boot windows with the good stick in (alone) it works but is glitchy - like it will freeze every 10 seconds or so for about 1/4 of a second.......memtest is perfect with that chip though - and system is runs fine with the 2gb of generic ram i'm using atm......just fussy board?

EDIT:
Weird - this is getting stranger......system is now hanging - even on the other ram......playing musics results in a nice *Jumping cd* result....games are doing it also - driving in GRID, turn a corner, stutters and i'm in the wall....
Now i'm thinking motherboard.....adn i REALLY dont want to send that off.....Asus is probably Taiwan is isnt it, it's over a year old so i cannot rma to my works supplier.....
Why does it all die.....

Good news - all my Half yearly tests are over

chispy such a great guy

weird mate sounds like a board issue or could be operating system /driver related ?

From what others have said on a thread i made about it on OCN - they said HDD - i would think that the dodgy ram may have corrupted some things - i'll reinstall tonight to check

Thanks again Chispy
