im having a problem which is that in some games like unreal tournament 2004 or doom 3 in some levels that require lots of graphics and ram capacity its giving me a blue screen (i think a dump of physical memory) and restarting.
so i downloaded a program called memtest which tests your ram for any errors and stuff when i ran the test on my 1 gb ram ddr 400 (2 x 512 mb ) it automatiocally gave me the blue screen error and restarted, so what i did is that i took out one 512 mb and ran the test it gave me no error and the test told me there were no error in it . i then took off the good 512 and put the other and the test ran fine .. but when i put them together the test doesnt run at all. then i decided to run the unreal tournament 2004 and the doom 3 levels which werent launching previously onm a 512 mb ram stick and they ran smoothly with no problem or restart but when i put both the 512 it gives me a blue screen and restarts..
anyway i ran the program memtest and i specified enno let him scan not all the rams bass shi 650 mb out of the 1024 (remember there are the rams that windows and other small programs are using so its not a pure 1024 mb ) and the program run smoothly and gave me no error but when i specify lets say 700 mb ram it restarts ....
