I was reading around and i did a memtest today on my computer and i got a lot of errors for my memory.
EEC Errors = 0
Errors = around 7420
could this be a problem which is making my comp screen go blank?
-------------------------------------
MB Temperature : 27.5C/ 81.5F
CPU Temprature: 53C/ 127F
Are these temps normal if not how can i make them normal? i'm realy crap at this. thnx for all the help so far it is greatly appreciated.
Bad RAM will absolutely cause the screen to go blank, especially if the bad RAM is in the range of the graphics buffer.
The RAM itself may not be bad, especially with that many errors. More likely, the DIMMs are poorly seated or have dirty contacts, or both. First, get a wrist grounding strap at a
Radio Shack or electronics supply shop and ground yourself to the case. I would remove the DIMMs, clean the edge contacts with
90%-or-higher isopropyl alcohol and a cotton swab, then reinstall the DIMMs, making sure that they are fully tipped into the socket and that the latches snap into place. Rubbing alcohol is not pure enough -- you can get nearly-pure isopropanol by going to a discount store or auto supply and buying an isopropyl-alcohol "drygas" like
ISO-Heet. One way to tell if it's isopropanol is to look at the back of the bottle -- it should say. If the bottle has a skull-and-crossbones and says
Poison, then it's methyl alcohol. Isopropanol is toxic, but not particularly poisonous. Methanol is both a less-effective solvent
and a less-effective gas dryer.
As to the temperatures, a 53°C CPU is a bit high, unless you are overclocked. Since the MB temperature is basically normal, you might want to check that the CPU heatsink is of good quality and properly greased. You might even look into upgrading the heatsink; the cooler a CPU runs, the longer it lasts -- and with fewer soft errors.
