Docmemory reboots. Bad RAM?

[Godfodda]

I'm unsure if this belongs here or software. Sorry if I picked wrong. :)

I DL'ed and ran Docmemory (several times) but it won't complete a loop without rebooting. I'm guessing this is what happens, anyway, since I can see the loop counter still sitting at zero just before the screen blanks and the system reboots.

I'm testing this on the 866 machine in the sig. I pulled one stick, two sticks, and finally all three sticks of the generic, and then put in one Spectek (all of these have Micron chips), but it did the same thing every time.

Is this indicative of bad RAM or that I don't know what I'm doing? :(

bump

I tried those sticks and another 64M PC100 in an Amptron board. No reboots now, but the test freezes at about 425k each time. Can someone help out?

Last bump.

I tried MemTest last night and it went through fine. Would my DocMemory problem maybe be related to using an ME boot disk?

If you can get a win9x boot disk, try that.

If you get the same problem, I would guess that something
might be wrong with the motherboard.

It seems unlikely that all 3 sticks of your ram would be
bad.....

Thanks. I have a 98SE CD here and have been meaning to move one of the machines back to it anyway. Will give that a shot.
