Is my RAM borked?

Right? |I tried doing the windows diagnostic test to see if it is faulty ram |but the disk wont boot up on startup. | Testing RAM with the added complications of Windoze in the picture --or anything else, for that matter--is a lousy idea anyway. |How do you boot up directly from a disk upon start up? | {semantics}You don't boot *from* a disk; you boot TO a disk. After that, you can **load an OS** from that disk.{/semantics} YOU establish "Boot Precedence" in your CMOS Setup. Tell it which disks you want it to look at to see if they have an OS on them --and in what order you would like it to do that (somewhat variable--depending on *your* BIOS). Of your HDDs, Windoze will only load from C: (your Primary Master). |and is there [any way] to check for faulty ram |through a software diagnostic program? | Sure. cache of http://www.memtest86.com/ +build.a.bootable.floppy+Troubleshooting.Memory.Errors Written in response to: Problems with Memory Function on Windows 98/dell computer (Heather DuPuis: Friday, December 29, 2006 at 9:12 am) There are presently no replies to this message.
