Re: FLASH: [OT] PC Memory

[FOUNDATION]

Do you have adequate  space on your hard drives(s) for pagefile.sys?

If you've run low on space for the pagefile.sys, I think that will report

memory errors too.

I have seen it before.

| First off make sure you have downloaded all the patches from the update

| site.

|

| Next make sure your ram is runnig at the same rate 80ns, 10ns, 6ns or

| whatever if possible.

|

| Next pull your other memory out then try to relieve any possible viruses

| that may be residing.

|

| Run scandisk and defrag... check your Virtual Mem settings, look at your

| upper mem block to see how much you have left.

|

| I don't use resource monitor .. but I do use msconfig  run this and make

| sure you know all the progs running at startup.. some may be hoging the

| upper mem block.
