Well I've had 2 sticks now that I have gone bad...what are the odds of this? hahaha.
My power seems to be fine (Asus monitor utility).
-M-Audio Delta 44 Soundcard
-ASUS A7V333 KT333 MB W/ ATA133, USB 2.0, 5.1 AUDIO
-AMD Athlon® XP-2000+ Processor AS22
-60GB 7200 RPM UDMA 133 HD
-160GB 7200 RPM Samsung HD
-768MB PC2700 333MHZ DDR MEMORY
-Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition
-AMD Certified ATX Medium Tower Case - 350 Watt
is that MB just crappy when it comes to burning out ram or something?
and when I say "gone bad" - i mean:
- freaquent BSOD's...which are NEVER happening when the bad stick is removed.
- games do not run smoothly.
- applications crash often.
*To see what stick(s) were bad I ran the microsoft memory diagnostic utility - and it found a ton of errors on the sticks that were bad. I replaced one stick about 6 months ago. and just replaced my other bad stick today.
