Do you have any problem with your RAM ? system restarting,hangs.etc ?

[Rollercoaster]

hopefully u have OCed ur RAM a wee bit over or the ram modules are in warrenty....
otherwise u need to replace to prevent future troubles...

[samrulez]

Actually....u r memory is damaged but....not necessarily.....even if the contact pins r corroded....then u might get thses errors....try cleaning them......
Also I think u don't get new memory unless u get BSODs or hangs or restarts........

normally if ram is damaged u will most probably get errors while installing softies containing '.cab' files nd all nd it would be a crc error. Its not the complaint of disc as u can easily copy those to HDD.
Try installing the office XP or 98. Both contains big '.cab' files nd see if u get any CRC errors.

I installed Ofiice 2003 and MS Virtual PC and I didn't get any CRC errors

Justtake out the ram nd clean the contact area with a soft cloth dipped in alcohol. or do a rubbing with an eraser[only the copper coloured area]. nd see if its ok now?
