my fresh build is having serious problems so i decided to run memtest86 -the problems are so severe that i was even surprised i was able to download it... after 11 minutes of letting it run, it's failed test 6 twice with these errors:
Tst Pass Failing address Good Bad err-bits count chan

6 0 00017527454 - 373.4MB 00800000 00800800 00000800 1
6 0 00017aa3454 - 378.1MB 20000000 20000800 00000800 1
i waited for test 6 to cycle again and this time there were no additional errors after a total run time of 32 minutes... while the cpu (xpm2500) and mobo (nf7s v2) are second hand, my single stick of 512mb pc3200 kingston value ram (ch6) is brand new... the question is, what do i do now?
please help
PS: i was slightly sloppy applying as5 to my xpm2500... could that be causing any problems?
PSS: odd thing... i thought everything was set at default but while my cpu is running at 166fsb, memtest reports my ram is running at 199fsb... wth?
PSSS: my pc is acting disturbingly slow and weak -like i wrote this post in wordpad and couldn't select the whole thing at once weak (!!!)... it's acting like there's no free resources... i don't know what's up
