Hi guys, I have ASUS NCCH-DL/dual Xeons 3.6 Nocona with 4Gb of RAM (OCZ Performance Series DDR400) with X800XT PE and I had some anomalies happening when working, but nothing too often. The most noticable problems started appearing in BF2 (crashing to desktop, rebooting etc). So I've been reading around the web and on this forum too and noticed that 2 good programs to test 100% stability are Prime95 and Memtest86. So I ran Prime 95 first and got that infamous Rounded 0.5 when it should've been 0.4 or something like that...this error appeared 2-3 hours into the testing.
Now, my Xeons run at 46-47C idle (on CPU1) and 49-50C (on CPU2) and under load (CPU1 goes up to 59-60C) while CPU2 goes up to 65-66C. The problem was confirmed when I tested under Memtest86 and the initial test (12 hours) went through without a problem, but when I started testing memory sizing Memtest86 locked the computer when I ran BIOS All (it also reported errors but it locked the computer). When I ran PROBE test it started testing but I got a few errors on the memory. Can someone tell me please what this might be or what should I do. Should I take the memory out (does this mean that one of my modules is bad or what?)
Attached is the image of the errors:
Thanks a lot.
P.S.
I tried taking out all memory sticks and putting one after another to find out which one is bad...They all report errors..WTH?! It's impossible that all 4 modules are bad. What am I suppose to do now?
Btw, my computer does run fine in general (I do a lot of Photoshop and other apps) and don't really have problems..Also, the computer often stays on for a week or more without rebooting and I never experienced problems with that either. I just hate when I get into testing with diagnostic apps like Prime and Memtest and they start reporting errors.
