Memory Errors!!! HELP!

[forget that]

I built 4 computers that were randomly resetting.

one had a bad stick of crucial pc2100 ram that got over 500,000 errors in memtest86

The nforce one reset until it got the new nforce drivers

and the other two get 1 memtest86 error.


The 8kha+ (1/16/02 bios) with an athlonxp 1800+ cpu, enermax psu, and crucial ram ALWAYS has a memory error at Address 00000410 with ALL 3 sticks of ram. It doesn't matter if it is overclocked or not, or if there is 1 2 or 3 sticks, no matter what, in test 4 or 7, I always get an error at fail address 00000410. they are unbuffered, non-parity pc2100 crucial [micron] 256MB dimms

WHY!?!??! Is my 8kha+ board crap? Is it the CPU? The ram has to be good, or I wouldn't get the same fail address every single time with every single stick of ram.


AND why does the k7s5a get a memtest86 error? wtf? I am still testing it though, so I'll tell you more bout that board later.

this forum always freaking moves my post, and although the title is memory errors, IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE RAM! So it does belong in the general forum. i don't even see why they care so much about what post goes where.

the author of memtest86 solved it!:

You are the second one to report this. Evidently the BIOS is using this
location. I think that it is status for a USB mouse. I am still looking
into this but it is not a real error.
