I do have Firefox installed, but I do still use I.E. once in a while (I am right now).

xsk8zerox said:I hate to say it but your memory is probably failing. Download http://www.memtest.org/ memtest and test your memory
LordOfLA said:Its most likley to be early signs of ram failure. As this error should not occur unless the processor as fed an incorrect instruction.
That wont happen unless your ram slipped a bit and sent a 1 instead of a 0 or vice versa.
Run memtest overnight and start saving up for new ram. Its not going to fail completeley but its a sign you need to consider new stuff.
xtweaker: RAM either works, has intermittant faults, kinda works, is only good for windows, or is dead. its not one of the pieces of hardware that is either working or not. RAM is mad of hundreds of millions of transistors and capacitors. If one of those transistors sticks its going to feed the wrong value tothe cpu eventually but it wont kill the whole chip/module.
You need to learn about hardware more before you go telling people they're wrong

Mastershakes said:Oh, and I want to know which kind of RAM only works with MS Windows, and not other operating systems. I've been searching and searching the internets for this.
LordOfLA said:You wont. Because software doesnt cause those errors. Hardware does and in 99.99999999 etc % of cases its a stuck transistor in a ram chip.
LordOfLA said:I do thanks, I'm a developer with among other things basic knowledge of assembly and plenty of hours logged in a ring0 debugger to know that what I have stated is right.
LordOfLA said:Windows is less demanding on system ram. Therefore RAM that your everyday UNIX will refuse to utilise will more often than not be just fine in windows.
