Re: Problem reinstalling Windows - think it's a hardware issue

Thanks Paul. I used the memtest program initially and now I'm trying
the microsoft version. I'm still getting memory errors. I reseated
the memory and my video card. That's really all I have in the pc. Do
you think it could be something with my motherboard then? I've tried
putting the memory in another slot, and it still does the same thing.
However, it fails at different points in the microsoft version when I
moved it to a different slot. If I had an extra motherboard or psu
lying around, then I would just swap them out. Since I don't, I'd
have to buy one, then return it if it doesn't solve my problem. Do
you have a recommendation on which one I should try first? I'm still
unsure of the direction I should take in resolving this. The bottom
line is that my memory tests fail, but for some reason, I just don't
think it's the memory.

Right now, I don't have any details on your hardware at all.

What is the motherboard make and model number ? What kind of
processor and RAM are you using ?

I'd probably try bumping up the memory voltage by 0.1V and
test again. Or relax the memory timings a bit.

To list the current timings and clocks, use this:
