    i ran memtest and it found 2048 errors...the psu died shortly after

    i guess that goes to explain some of what went wrong but its strange because it was all working fine last time i used that pc.

    *shrug*

    i will switch out the psu and try and isolate the bad ram....will do a reinstall then and see if the problem is fixed. it's not like i ever use that pc anymore but still frustrating when something like this happens and there is no solution to it

    If your psu was dying, it was probably throwing unrectified voltage down the power buses. That could cause all sorts of problems and possible failures. I suggest you run the memory tests again after you've sorted out the psu, there may be nothing wrong with the memory.

    Even if further testing still says there's a fault, it's possible that the fault lies elsewhere (motherboard or cpu) which is showing up as a memory problem. Check the same memory in another system before declaring it faulty.

    Political correctness is based on the principle that it's possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

    I have one here but you'd need to pay shipping and if I said it was bad you probably wouldn't believe me anyway.
