Testing Ram - Page 2

I just thought i would let u all know this problem has been solved, after 3 weeks of messing around i did a wipe and reinstall fully and low and behold the problem came back. I spent 4hrs going through more and more dump files and found that a file called PAV51 was the cause of it all, it was my Panda Internet Security 2008 causing it and when i put the problem into google along with file name loads have same problem. It must have been a recent update to have caused my problem tho as its been working for about 4 months with no problem and the suddenly happened.

The error refers to the page file so checking out the hard drive or moving the page file to a different hard drive might help (oops ok nm, didn't see page 2)

If it does not then you may have a controller fault and will have to use 2x512 for now

You could be right there, also some ram chips have trouble working together if 1 or 2 are single sided and the other 1 or 2 are double sided.

since uninstalling the problem is cured, i dont think its ram as the ram has been in the system since i built the system at easter 2007 and never had any problems.
