| memory or mobo problem? hi, this is my config: a7n8x-deluxe 2.0 bios 1008 athlon XP 2000 (133mhz x 12.5) 512mb pc3200 kingston (KVR400X72C3A/512) asus v9520 (geforce fx5200) Some weeks ago I started having random reboots. after trying lot of things, i made my pc work again. 20 days later, again random boots. Now i cant boot XP, i cant boot with KNOPPIX (random errors loading) or reinstall windows. I unplugged EVERYTHING except mobo + ram + video + cpu + cdrom. i booted with memtest, and i have LOT of memory errors. its SURE that its a memory problem? i have only 1 memory card, i cant try with another one. the memtest86 displays errors after 256mb, in this bits: 0000 XX00 example: write to memory: 1234 5678; read from memory: 1234 XX78 where XX = random numbers. I'm not sure its a memory problem, what do you think? Last edited by Zafiro : 08-08-2005 at 02:44 PM. Reason: added memory model |

| did you disable Legacy USB in the BIOS before running memtest? It will cause errors.

| The number one suspect (not always the guilty party though) of random reboots is a failing power supply. You can consider investigating that as well. |
