[SOLVED] What can bad ram do to your computer ??
Hi All,
The reason I ask is last week I was getting alot of BSOD. I did a CHKDSK and I guess that was fine (Don't really know because when it finished it just disappeared and I don't know if there is a report it leaves behind somewhere saying wether it was fine or not)
The I did memtest86+ ran it for a few hours and it came up with 14 errors. So I took the computer back into the store on Friday and had them replace the 2GB DDram.
Things seemed fine until Last night when I was converting a video with Autogk and watching A movie from my XP Media Center and halfway through the movie I got the BSOD. I got it 2 more times when I wasn't watching anything and all my computer was doing was Converting video.
I did a memtest86+ and let it run all night, came down this morning and there were no errors and it was still running fine. So the new Memory seems fine. The ram they give me is Platinum 667MHZ 2GB kit DDram.
So can the bad ram I had before have caused problems with my computer that i am still seeing now ?? What effects could it have had ?? Motherboard, programs etc....
I notice when I use AutoGK to convert movies and I go into taskmanager to look at Performance the CPU Usage is usually running at the top (95%-100%) would this be normal ?? I use Autogk all the time and have been usuing ti for months with no problem and it's always been running the CPU at close to 100%. Is it too much to be running the program and doiung something else with the computer at the same time ??
Sorry for all the questions !!! LOL!!
I do appreciate the help I get in these forums and I do donate because Tech Support Forum has been very helpful to me....
Please help and thank you,
Darryl
P.S - I have an AMD Athlon 64 3800+ 2.0GHZ Dual Core 2GB DDRam and run Windows XP Media Center 2005
