Default Re: What has happened to the HDD??

Quote:
I don't seem to understand what has RAM got to do with data corruption!!! If RAM would have been faulty, the computer wouldn't have started at all.
Man faulty RAM can show weird symptoms.I've personally encountered two similar cases where the ram was faulty.In one case the mbr would get corrupted after each reboot.
The computer won't start if the RAM's totally kaput,but many times it will start and behave erratically...... restarts,freezes etc.
And he's scanned thoroughly for BS so no harm in confirming the RAM before purchasing a new hdd.
