UNEXPECTED_KERNEL_MODE_TRAP

[Russ]

Bad RAM. Just thought I'd pass that along in case any of you ever encounter the message in Win2K. My baby started crashing earlier, turned out to be one of my sticks. Just goes to show you that even Crucial can make a bad one from time to time.

I just got an Unexpected Popcorn Kernel stuck in my tooth.

the 'Kernel' just popped up on my TV screen and I had the sudden urge to jump in my car and go get some chicken

Russ,

If you're cheap like me, you should run Memtest86 on that box and find out just how 'bad' it is. Usually it's only a page or so. There's also a badram patch for Linux that uses the info obtained from Memtest86 to work around the bad parts of the stick. Of course, this is assuming that you put that stick in a box running Linux.

nd, it was a win2k machine, and besides crucial offers a lifetime waranty. Why not take advantage of it.

Thanks for the heads up Russ.
