I'm getting invalid page faults and bsod, probably due to bad memory a few minutes after booting. Had this problem with CENTON memory before, this time it worked fine for almost 3 months. Memory is pc2700, 512 mb, same as original (have 3 other chips with BRAVO logo), but cas/latency may be different. Haven't tried switching memory slots yet. ASUS mb, P4 3.0. Removed the chip, pc is working fine. I'll run a few memory tests to try to confirm chip is bad when I have time. Mark Rode wrote: > I have never seen freezes caused by bad memory.
