Specs: Pentium 4 3.0Ghz / Windows XP SP2 / ATI Radeon 9800 Pro / 2 Kingston
DDR 512mb on an ASRock P4V88 Motherboard
All drivers and BIOS are up to date and no viruses or spyware are detected.
Problem:
It started out with random reboots while playing games like Doom3, but then
also during other applications, burning DVDs, surfing the net, etc. I then
dissabled the "reboot function" in Windows and now I get the BSOD: STOP
0x000000A... IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL I'm thinking it's RAM because:
When I run memory diagnostic tools I always get errors: In Windows Memory
Diagnostics I keep getting errors in the "LRAND" and "ERAND" tests and in
Memtest86 I get errors in test #7(random number sequence) and in the Windows
based Memtest I get an average of 8 errors at 100% pass.
I have also tried other new memory sticks and switching them around, but
they keep failing the same tests.
This is a new PC, about 6months old, everything else seems to be running ok
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated,
