re: Is the RAM causing ALL these problems??? Saturday, September 19, 2009 at 7:03 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by sj022698 (55 messages posted) What origianlly happened wa that I went to reformat and was getting an error code 4 so I took out one of the sticks and it still happened. So I then just swapped that chip with the one I had just taken out and it worked fine. That is why I think that one chip is bad. Is that not a good assumption?
