Need help with memory dumps. 3 crashs, no errors or bsods.

I'll do that. Right now I'm mobile and laying in bed. I'll run all the tests when I have some free time.

Btw do you know of a dos based mem tester. I looked up memtest86 and that was a Windows client.
 
Dos isn't the correct terminlogy I wanted. I was refering to that two color screen but that's probably what im thinking of is the boot version
 
I believe memtest is a blue background with white text similar to most BIOS...

Regardless it is the way to go

Sorry, I thought you were referring to DOS as MS-DOS vs Lin/unix Shells...

Not Disk OS :banghead:

Thank you yes dos based is what I was thinking of. Anyways I'll have my arms up in tests. So fellas how about a order to run the tests in?

I would think the bsod would be the first one but an order to run them in would be nice.

@ Anthony N - my apologies... my name is listed as the one who locked the thread at 04:38 EST - the time of my last post.

It was accidental, I assure you.

Your zip contained 3 files - 1 named "jcgriff2.txt" - there is no such output file from the app. I'm not sure where that file came from.

Hi -

Your 3 GB RAM configuration = 1x1 + 1x2

Are the sticks matched?

There seems to be something not right with that drive. I'll ask someone more familiar than I am with controller errors to reply.

This is like the entry after re-start from the freeze - occurred ~2 hours after Windows instal began -
Code: 
Event[847]:
  Log Name: System
  Source: EventLog
  Date: 2012-12-10T14:50:09.000

  Description:

Thank you for the files.

I'm not sure yet what the repairs are.

I'm not familiar enough with controller hardware. IDK if it's a cable, driver, ...??

chkdsk came out with -0- bad sectors -- OK
SeaTools for DOS passed
HD Tune - OK

It does seem like your HDD itself is OK.

EDIT: Do you know what the controller error is?
