my System is well, updated, and i started getting these msgs recently, till now they show up if i try to send a smily on Yahoo! Messger or just surf on Firefox. i have to ram slots, my pc vendor installed cheap duplicate symtronics ram, 256MB DDr 266MHz, sboth were infact diffrent and gave a plethora of BSOD msgs, so i ought Original Hynix 512MB DDR 400MHz Ram, i instaleld in one slot, removing a ram stick adn leaving one on other slot, thus making total ram 640MB, i think the second 128MB stick is faulty and casuing the problem.what do you guys think?

If you want to test your ram see here.

And why are you using your DDR 266 ram with the 400Mhz ram . This will make your DDR 400 ram run at 266Mhz. You test both your rams individually and individually in both the slots..... And let me know what happened....

Guys..

I don't remember exactly what that called.. but its memory miss-alocation may be its call MEMORY BLEEDING.

Its sorta Segmentation fault in linux ..
So reason can be
1.faulty programming ! (ie bad algo )
For first if you getting the error message only with one program then its the program .. else the hardware.

2. Bad hardware... ie. HD or RAM !
Try repairing and checking the HD and also RAM !
Reinstalling will help only when your HD is bad / had problem !

Well.. ..
That's my little piece of advice !
