Thread: Ram Problem Maybe.....

  1. #1
    Hi,

    :beerchug:

    For about the last 2 weeks iv been able to finnaly download from Suprnova (i had router troubles before) but all the new games i get are split with .rar Now theres fair enough no problems there, they download fast no poblems there. The problem starts when i try to extract them. Useing WinRAR it gives off a different RAR being faulty or messed up each time. QuickSFV shows different RAR's being messed up as well sometimes.

    The error it gives out is CRC (or something along those slines) Error. You know the ones you use to get with K Lite.
    It seems that whenever i try to extract sometime thats RAR'd i different part comes up messed up or damaged.

    Now im thinking its a RAM problem.

    This is my RAM setup:
    • 2 Sticks
    • 0 free slots
    • both sticks 256mb
    • one stick Samsung PC2100
    • one stick Nanya PC2700
    • DDR Ram
    My other Specs are:
    • Amd Duron Xp1600
    • 512mb Ram (See Above)
    • Geforce 4 MX440 128mb Version
    • 1 Fan, 1 CPu cooler
    • 2 hard drives, one 20Gb one 15gb, both 5400RPM speed
    • Brand New Aopen Mobo SKT A
    • 400Watt PSU
    I think that about covers it, Oh yeah, and sometimes games just seem to close for no reason, Ut2004 demo and Ut2003 give a genral fault error, if i get oe again i will copy the text into here. But its not a built in MS error message its one that is built in for the UT franchise.

    Any help would be great

    and BTW i was really board so i made this colourful arn't i nice person

    first, post this in the appropriate section before you jump to conclusions... but while ur here, ill try to help:
    • one stick Samsung PC2100
    • one stick Nanya PC2700

    my experience with RAM is not the best but im thinking that having diff. freq. ram in the same system could be a bad thing... but i dunno...


    usually, corny ram issues are designated with a mis-addressed windows error: x app faulted when trying to access x mem address: the mem could not be ("written"/"read")

    or ur comp will crash

    search the net for non-windows based ram checkers(i mean boot-disk based). disable quick-POSTing in the BIOS (gives it a full 3 mins to check the ram). run folding@home overnight for 5 days and see if anything fucks up...

    I can't run Folding@home, my pc bombs out and just turns off after doing to much full work (its a CPU problem i think, but i really can't be arsed to fix that right now.

    what do you mean? Its hardware?

    That happens to me quite a lot actually, generally when Windows, the bastard that it is, creates "video folders" and tries to preview every half downloaded movie I click on. Needless to say it can&#39;t, since its not there yet, causing a crappy error like above.

    i never have that problem... actually the only time ive ever had an issue with that error was with one prog i made that read the ram and hacked flash files... lol it would write the ram, but when the flash app tried to read from it it would pop the error and after hitting ok it would BSOD
