How many errors is acceptable with memtest 86?
My girlfriends laptop just started freaking out. BSOD halfway through an email, locking up when launching IE, BSOD on winamp, locking up on boot, etc. I know that it is for sure not a virus and it is not spyware.
XP Pro with SP1a and all updates
HP Pavilion ZV5160 notebook
512mb ram from the factory
P4 2.8ghz
60gb drive
I'm running memtest 86 off a bootable cd and it's currently at 3 passes with 4 errors. I just left the settings at default for it. Is there anything I should change to narrow down the problem? I'm thinking that 0 erros should be the acceptable #, but not too sure.
Any ideas?
