Here are the stats I have for my machine:
P4 2.53ghz
Gigabyte GA-8IHXP Rev 2.1
4x PC1066 Samsung 512MB RDRAM rimms
Creative Labs Live! Value
Gainward GeForce4 128MB Ultra video
Promise TX1000 IDE RAID card
1x IBM 120GB Deskstar
3x various 120GB hard drives- spanned with Promise card
Linksys 802.11g wireless adaptor
All drivers seem to go on fine.
My problem:
The system is very unstable, usually when I am using IE. I will click
a link and presto the box will reboot itself. It usually happens once
a day, sometimes twice. I rarely go for a day without it rebooting-
unless the box is unused. There have been times it also reboots itself
at night while I sleep- so it does not HAVE to be under load.
I have run memtest86 on my memory and have found one faulty module. I
plan to pull it out. Every time though the system reboots it comes
back with an Microsoft Recovered from Error message. It always blames
a Device Driver for the problem, but never tells me what device driver
caused the error. I would have pulled the RAM already but I did not
have the crimms to put into the slots. I am wondering if others have
this same problem?
Are there any other memory tests I can run besides memtest86? I
switched the memory around and the errors continued to follow the
stick, so I know which one it is. I have heard that there are other
memory test apps out there.
Would faulty memory cause Windows to report that device driver error?
Any help would be great, I am SO sick of such a flaky box!
