Re: New Build Issues

Hi. Thanks for your responses. Am I right in thinking that memtest has to be booted from floppy at startup? If this is the case, do you know of an alternative which runs through windows? (dont have a floppy drive on machine)

EDIT In the meantime I have tried removing/ swapping mem chips but problem still continues. Have also removed DVDRW to see whether less drain on sys power would help, but once again to no avail. Am I right in thinking that the problem could well be power through USB related, or is it more likely to be something else? Do I need to beg/borrow/steal a floppy drive to eliminate bad memory?
Dave
