Answer» 1. Tutorial (with some nice reference links). Ran across an easy read tutorial you might be interested in: Understanding, Identifying and Upgrading the RAM in your PC It is just interesting that the same issues occurred when I put the old ram back in. If there's a weakness in the memory subsystem, then any data read in from disk that's corrupted by this weakness will spread that corruption back to the disk when written out to the file system (or files within). Except for your statement that the trouble started when you swapped memory, a failing disk subsystem could also cause problems for your system. Start by verifying the memory runs reliably in your system.Ok. I ran the MEMTEST program and it came back with no errors. I am guessing that proves the RAM is ok, but does it also prove the memory is correct for the machine?? R1. Memory. Quote from: rthoman on April 04, 2008, 06:05:45 AM Ok.

I'm not sure... but I think it's OK for the machine. 2. Chkdsk. Quote from: rthoman on April 01, 2008, 04:43:41 AM I did boot and go to repair. That is how I copied the ntldr, ntdetect and hal.dll. I did chkdsk /r as well. Were there any interesting messages from the "chkdsk"? Any errors found and/or repaired? 3. Boot.ini. You could use the "Recovery Console" to look at your "boot.ini" file just to ensure it looks correct and is pointing to correct partition. Dell utilities on partition 1, Windows operating system on partition 2? 4. Dell Diagnostics. You could boot into the Dell diagnostics and run them just on general principles. 5. Windows Advanced Options Menu. Did you try boot with Last KNOWN Good CONFIGURATION from the Windows Advanced Options Menu? |
