Busy with school assignment, settling the projects and meeting deadlines may explain the lack of activity here. There is a bigger reason than those. My working computer goes blue-screening spree this few days of the week. That coincides that I migrated by data from my old hard drive to the newer 1 Terabyte drive.
Those images really makes no sense other then bad driver but then it should not take down the entire machine. After trying to find out the problem, I deduce it would be the RAM(s) that is at fault and I was right. Running memtest showed errors in the 2.5GB range. My RAM module are 2GB + 1GB. Any data passes the 2.5GB cause catastrophic errors and that’s explains the random blue screen. That is not the end however, the RAM also corrupted the driver pool in Windows and making it highly unstable to run with random hangs without blue screen. Bizarre but true.
The faulty RAM in question is a 1GB DDR2 400 Dual channel Kingston module. Fair take that the RAM served in my earlier machine, IBM workstation in 2006 and I was doing some serious stuff there. So RAM ages.
After that I reformatted the system partition and copied a OEM image of Windows 7 and done.
The end. 🙂
Ps: 2GB DDR2 RAM cost SGD 50. Costly…
