Is the RAM causing ALL these problems??? Friday, September 18, 2009 at 9:29 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by sj022698 (55 messages posted) Just reformatted someones computer and I’m pretty sure one of his RAM is bad. He’s only got a total of 512 but I’m working with only one chip so he’s at 256…Anyway, I installed XP Home and was working fine but today was getting the error 0x000000di and the blue screen. I boot in safe mode as I was going to try to use memtest but as soon as I hit any service, the CPU Usage jumps directly to 100%...Does the CPU Usage have anything to do with the amount of RAM? There isn’t any viruses, spyware, etc…I’ve got most startup services from msconfig disabled. However, I did install AVG, Lavasoft, JAVA, Adobe Reader & Nero. Any thoughts? Is this just a RAM related issue? XP Home SP2 (was sp3 but did a restore to yesterday) Responses to this message: re: Is the RAM causing ALL these problems???
