Hello, again, Carl;

Evidently, the SDRAM I added a few weeks ago is defective. After MemTest
has run for an hour & 45 minutes (Test 6,) it found a failing address, which
is:

00056517364 - 1381.4 mb Good: fdffffff Bad: ffffffff Err Bits 02000000
Count Chan: 1

I don't know if there are more bad addresses, MemTest is still running.

Thanks for the heads-up on MemTest!

With kindest regards,

Dick Smith

Thanks, Carl! A bootable floppy sounds good to me.

Thanks, Carl;

Come to think of it, I did install another 512mb SDRAM a while back,
which brought my total SDRAM up to 1.5gb. Maybe that's the problem.
the MemTest web site offers a scad of precompiled downloads. Which
might work best for a 1.5gb ASUS P3V4X with a Pentium III 450MHz
processor?

All of my memory is Atlas Precision; 3 512mb, PC 133 SDRAM sticks. The
ASUS P3V4X supports up to 2gb SDRAM.

If you have a floppy drive, the quickest way to get going will probably
be the bootable floppy package:

http://www.memtest.org/download/1.60....60.floppy.zip

I believe the instructions for writing the files to a floppy diskette are
contained in the ZIP file. Feel free to ask if additional help is
needed. The memtest floppy you create will be invaluable.

Regards,

Carl
