    Well i recon i have blown my PC3200 ram through overclocking as it was cheap Eilxir Ram.
    I ran Memtest x86 and was coming up with LOADs of errors.
    Can i just tell my system not to use those addresses through some kind of software, But i cant find anything on Google.

    system works fine till those address are accessed and i get the BSOD and CRASH Reboot.
    Any ideas?

    Running
    AMD 3200x64
    sata 300gb maxtor
    Asrock Dual939 sata
    256 6600gt pci-e

    Thanks

    Sorry but you have to buy new ram,they're no program that will do that
    only for harddisk scan error...

    PC3200 ram are pretty cheap to buy if you live in the U.S

    Just seems pointless when it works perfectly ok till it starts accessing addresses above 750mb. then BSOD:eek:

    Durrrr im such a dumbarse.

    yeah 1gb ram cost about 65 quid in UK. not bad.

    i have seen ram fixers but dont know how good they are...

    But probably not worth it for me.

    I wonder if i can get it back on warranty???? hmmmmm

    Thanks anyhow.

    You could try this, posted by Adrynalyne a few months ago regarding limiting the RAM size in WindowsXP.

    So, just use a value smaller than 750MB and you might be ok.
