No wolf rider.

OK I took one stick of ramm out, PC booted ok. So I put the other stick in on its on and got loads of errors on start up...

So I took the ram back to the shop and they exchanged it. Came home, put the new ramm in with the "good" old one and it BSOD'd before it even booted.

Took it out, booted...

I think my OS might now be corrupt so I guess I will once again have to format the HD :mad:

Its working like a charm now. New ram and not one problem since!

Thanks to everyone - especially Raggz who decoded the error codes for me!

Cheers guys!

:grin:

Good to hear that the problem got fixed. Glad i could help :)
Running mem test doesn't always catch bad ram sticks. The best way is to try out the sticks one by one.

Yes that's good advice and glad the OP got it sorted.

Memtest is good, but the last time i tried it on an old P4 Northwood chip build it was seeing mem errors that were actually for a CPU cache memory, probably the latest versions of mem test can see past that though.

I thought it was his ram though.

I was looking at the parts I would need to put together a computer to run CLOD smooth, andi ma used to building computers for 30 years... (since the early 80's and an engineering degree) after time in the military...

the cost would be approximately $4,000 USD, including the controllers, software, etc...
I am sick and frkkin tired of computers that stumble when I fly online with a few people, even witht he best connection here in the good ol'e USA...

everything will have to be new,,, as al my old parts are obsolete,,, stil have core2duo, ddr2 ram, Saitek stick, etc...

no more crappy screens, missing shots from low fps...
and such...

of course the money isn't here so until then,, that's how much this hobby costs and a smooth screen while flying CLOD amounts too..


IMHO

meanwhile some patch is rumored to be in Beta while we just kill time..
