 Posted: Sun Sep 03, 2006 2:11 pm Post subject: Memory failing |
 |
|
So I ran memtest86 on my one machine that always locks up on me right before emerge --sync finishes. I got 5 errors in 1 test pass and wanted to make sure the memory is basically toast, which A) doesn't surprise me B) doesn't make me angry because it's 96MB of memory from ~1998.
The error messages I got were | Code: | Tst Pass Failing Address Good Bad Err-Bits Count Chan
5 0 00002c39240 44.5MB 00000040 80000040 800000000 1
6 0 00002c39244 44.5MB 00000400 80000400 800000 4 1 |
Since it's right smack dab in the middle of my memory it just needs to be junked?

| If that is the only error, the 32 MB module should be in working order, though the 64MB module is apparently going bad. If you are interested you could try the BadRAM patchset, otherwise it would seem that new RAM is in order. |
