Orion Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 DDR2 is unfortunate. The DDR3 stuff is the same price, or even less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trouble Maker Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 Sounds like a good reason to upgrade everything unless you can find memory for cheap-ish. IIRC the 4GB (2GBx2) of DDR3 in my PC that I just built a few months ago was ~$30. That's $25 (55-30) towards new hardware. Sell the old mobo and processor for a few dollhairs towards new stuff. Throw a little money towards it and you have new, faster stuff for not much money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I highlighted the problem since it seems like you were thinking that plugging things into the USB was the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87GT Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 Ran memtest for 2 hours. Finally got this on 3 different lines badram=0x8c843240,0xfffffffc Then three more lines with more letters/numbers This doesn't always mean bad sticks of ram. I have had this happen on a computer I physically moved. It spammed my screen with bad hex addresses for hours. I turned off the pc, removed all the ram sticks and reinstalled them in a different order. memtest overnight gave zero errors. The sticks could just be loose from moving the machine. Also sometimes the chips will creep out of the slots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I have seen a problem with RAM slots on the motherboard (sticks tested good one at a time). If you want to be thorough I would test each stick individually, and then test the slots by moving one slot at a time with one known good (tested good) stick.

Drewhop Posted March 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 I will reseat the ram tonight. Cause honestly the problem only happens when I am playing a game called World of Tanks. I have stress tested the computer, and ran other games maxed out for hours and not a single problem. Last night after running the ram test I played the game for 2 hours and not a single problem.
