Memtest86 Very Useful Utility For Checking Ram Pt Two Of Server Woes
I posted the other day about setting up a new server install for some new projects Webapper have and some of the woes we were facing in doing that. In short I could not get Win2k to install on two of the boxes but the BSOD errors were different and misleading and also somewhat random. What it turned out to be was faulty RAM, I am somewhat ashamed of myself after hundreds of installs from Win NT, through Linux and Win2k but what really threw me here was that two servers both had faulty RAM. I never thought that could be the case. In the course of the trials I turned to a neat little free utility called Memtest86. I had used it before but see that there is now a CD version (in addition to a diskette version) also which can be handy sometimes. Within a few minutes of starting the tests I realized we had faulty RAM on both of these two new systems.
Lesson learned for me, run Memtest86 before anything else not after!
