Could be that you have bad ram, could also be that your page file is corrupt.

First thing to do is boot up with memtest86 and do a ram check. If that passes with flying colours I'd delete your page file and make a new one.

memtest up and running.....thought that my be the suggestion so cranked it up last night....but its not resetting like it was...so guessing it is a 2000 issue since memtest is able to run in dos...RIGHT?

Memtest actually runs in linux and at a boot level before the OS even interferes.

Well think you nailed as usual....

MT is blipping RED....Test 5/6 errors....

Had a tech over fixing some keyboard and mouse issues...he had it all taken apart....couild he have not sat it right? Its under warranty so am going to give them a call and see what they have to say....

well they are sending me a stick....but i just ran memtest on the system mem and that is whats bad...so they are in for a little treat....

it's possible that they didn't seat it right, or they may have dropped it which can cause some technical term to happen. They could have accidentally put a static shock through it who knows. But whatever the case if they touched it and it's now no longer working it's their problem. The reality is if you had a power surge, that probably fried it.

its system mem...so couldnt have been dropped....no worries though...getting a new stick today and then make the call for new system board....lol...once in a while these warranties pay off!
