Go up one level in this thread


If you have 2 memory modules in your computer, run the computer with just one
installed and see if it is okay, then swap modules and run it again with just
one.

If you are getting errors in both cases, it is probably not the memory unless
you are running them too fast.

If you get no errors, it is definitely something else.

If get errors with just one, replace it.



There is one more thing that slot-a athlons are particularly sensitive to: the
power supply. Make sure it is on amd's approved list.



Alternatively, you might try the following which is free.

Which includes a memory test and cpu test among other things.
