I want to thank you guys for the advices, but there is something else
now. I
tend to believe that my RAM Memory may be the problem having in mind
that it’s pretty old and those particular lines from the STOP message
: “Beginning dump of physical memoryâ€; â€Physical memory dump
completeâ€, but anyway I changed the DIMM slot (it’s just one stick)
and a problem whit the PnP BIOS Extension (couldn’t recognize the
device), which I started to have two days ago, disappeared, which made
me think that finally my DIMM it’s in the correct slot. Now I have
this STOP screen appеаring
STOP: c000021a {Fatal System Error}
The Windows SubSystem system process terminated unexpectedly whit a
status
of
0xc000001c ( 0x75ea1978 0x0052f240)
Is there any chance for the poor PC?
Thanks
You can test your RAM with something like Memtest86+ from
www.memtest.org. Obviously, you have to get the program from a working
machine. You will either download the precompiled Windows binary to
make a bootable floppy or the .iso to make a bootable cd. If you want
to use the latter, you'll need to have third-party burning software on
the machine where you download the file - XP's built-in burning
capability won't do the job. In either case, boot with the media you
made. The test will run immediately. Let the test run for an hour or
two - unless errors are seen immediately. If you get any errors,
replace the RAM.
I can't answer your last question about hope for the "poor PC" since I
don't know anything about your machine. Do the RAM test first. If the
RAM tests bad, try it (the RAM) in another machine. If it tests bad
there too, you know the memory is faulty. If it tests fine there, you
know the original PC's motherboard RAM slot has a problem.
