a strange problem

[Max Coppin]

I'm having some trouble with a new(ish) PC. I've got it from a friend,
tried to install XP on it and got a lot of blue screens, kept re-trying,
tinkering with the BIOS etc but to no avail. Then I tried win2k and had the
same problem. All the errors pointed to faulty RAM, I was going to send it
back but before I did so I thought I'd try windows 98 which was on it
before. Strangely, this worked! The only thing that wasn't right was that
the AMR modem was not installed, windows didn't know it existed, strange.
Next I tried XP again and it worked fine! Again no AMR modem.
Unfortunately I do not have another one to try. I'm at a bit of a loss but
would appreciate 2 pieces of advice:-

1. A good testing program that will check everything is functioning
properly.
2. A piece of software that will tell me if the AMR slot or modem is at
fault.

Any other polite comments welcome!

MemTest. XP is far more sensitive to RAM errors than w98.

Run a few cycles of "memtest86" (download from
http://www.memtest86.com) to check out your memory.
You should get zero errors. Then --

Run a full set of hardware diagnostics. ("diag378.exe",
downloadable from ftp://ftp1.dell.com/diags, after a few
complaints, will run on most non-Dell computers.)
You should get zero errors.

The ungrateful, stupid **** was already told that, but he came back and said
"The usual selection of funny one-liners, well done! I presume that means
you have no idea, nevermind." In fact, he was told that within three minutes
of him posting his bleat.

Don't look now, you head****ed ****, but you got good advice from yours
truly within three minutes of your post hitting your newsserver. Go right
ahead and continue to blame others for your ****wittery. It just goes to
show how much of a ****ing idiot **** you are.

[Max Coppin]

Help at last. Thanks!

I have tried memtest86 and let it run for a bit, all seemed ok. I have
heard about incompatibility between generic RAM and certain motherboards,
does this sound realistic & would memtest86 pick this up?

The first reply you got (from K-Man) told you what you needed to do, instead,
you try to lame him. You really don't deserve to get help.

Funny thing is, the pillocking ****wit referred to himself as =
"nevermind" a few posts before, as if to either give himself a new name, =
or describe his mental state. Me thinks it is the "mental state", as he =
finally tried the "memtest" proggie, and stuffed up trying to get the =
correct find.

He posted this, "I have tried memtest86 and let it run for a bit, all seemed
ok." I guess he let it run for 4 or 5 minutes.

It's hilarious when ****wits who don't know what they are doing post
questions intended to lead the respondent into giving the poster only the
answer they want to hear. Oh, well. Mux Crappin did his dash. Maybe some
superhero MVP will come to his rescue.

It is, sad, I've seen them do it, and it's not just confined to here.
It's a blood rush from seeing something they least expect.

Ok seeing that nobody has gave you an answer try this, the power suply may
be to low rated, you mention nothing of what you have in terms of hardware
but at a guess id say athlon probably xp 2000 geforce card writer cd rom
floppy tv card sound card modem maybe even a network card 512 meg ddr a
couple of case fans you would require at least a decent 350 ps you probbably
have a 300 this is just speculation of course hope this helps :)

MemTest. XP is far more sensitive to RAM errors than w98.
