DMI: Memory Parity Error

Chiscringle · 08-08-2008, 09:13 AM

I'm running a Windows XP Media Center 2006 Dell XPS 400 PC. I have 4GB of RAM and a NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GTS video card.

I have three programs, a strategy game from 2004, a low-end FPS and my webcam software that cause a parity error the first time I use them in the morning, then they're fine the rest of the day. I can't figure out how to test the memory for this, since it only happens once a day. I tried using one card at a time, but then I had no problems with any of them, and no problems when I put them all back in until the next day. Is it even my RAM, or is it something else?

Are you running the stock Dell Ram or has it been swapped out? If changed do you know the Brand and Model/Part numbers for the Ram?
