I recently have been having a major problem with my new PC. I started a thread here:
http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview...atid=27&threadid=1604928&enterthread=y
Basically, I was having problems with my pc going extremely slow and freezing. This would happen many times a day. I ran memtest and after the first pass got over 200 errors. I then tried running memtest on a different system using the same ram and got no errors. I then used diff ram on the new system ran memtest and got no problems again.
I am completely confused. On my older system (which I am using now) its an Asus a7v266-e. I originally bought crucial RAM for it, but for some reason, I could not set the cpu to its max speed, so I RMA'ed the RAM and got some samsung.
Does anyone have any advice for me? I dont know what my next step should be and really need some help. If this is confusing to anyone please ask and I will try to clarify. Thanks alot.
