From: spock on 13 Nov 2009 03:34 Hello All I had decided to install Vista X64 every so often when you try and boot up you get the dreaded BSOD which displays NMI: parity error / memory parity error Why did Install Vista ? Because I have it and it was not being used or activated til now. I find this puzzling as the memory is 4gb nonparity DDR3 and I have tried other memory, did not change and I run my machine dual boot with XP X64 and I have no known problems under XP X64 it is quit stable. My hardware Supermicro C2SBX X38 chipset and Q6700 cpu and Adaptec 48300 and an ATI 4550 video card and a leadtek tv tuner card. Lee
From: Carlos on 13 Nov 2009 05:12 Spock, The only way to be sure about your memory sticks is to run memtest86+ Download version 4.00 from http://www.memtest.org/ Run it from a bootable floppy or bootable pen drive. Vista and Win 7 seem to be more susceptible to minor memory glitches than Windows XP Carlos "spock" wrote: > Hello All > > I had decided to install Vista X64 every so often when you try and boot up you get the > dreaded BSOD which displays > > NMI: parity error / memory parity error > > Why did Install Vista ?

From: Richard Urban on 13 Nov 2009 05:22 Not a sure way at all to test memory, but better than no test at all. A sure way to test memory is with a hardware memory tester such as shown on this page: http://simmtester.com/page/shop/shop.asp This is what the fellows who frequent the computer shows use before purchasing used memory from their customers. -- Richard Urban Microsoft MVP Windows Desktop Experience & Security "Carlos" <Carlos(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:97475A19-ED25-4BD8-8C28-81073E2821B9(a)microsoft.com... > Spock, > The only way to be sure about your memory sticks is to run memtest86+ > Download version 4.00 from http://www.memtest.org/ > Run it from a bootable floppy or bootable pen drive. > Vista and Win 7 seem to be more susceptible to minor memory glitches than > Windows XP > Carlos > > "spock" wrote: > >> Hello All >> >> I had decided to install Vista X64 every so often when you try and boot >> up you get the >> dreaded BSOD which displays >> >> NMI: parity error / memory parity error >> >> Why did Install Vista ?

From: David B. on 13 Nov 2009 09:05 Yes, I'm sure the average PC user is going to run out and spend 1-2 thousand dollars on a memory tester. Memtest is more than adequate. -- -- "Richard Urban" <richardurbanREMOVETHIS(a)hotmail.com> wrote in message news:upnAItEZKHA.1648(a)TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... > Not a sure way at all to test memory, but better than no test at all. > > A sure way to test memory is with a hardware memory tester such as shown > on this page: > http://simmtester.com/page/shop/shop.asp > > This is what the fellows who frequent the computer shows use before > purchasing used memory from their customers. > > -- > > Richard Urban > Microsoft MVP > Windows Desktop Experience & Security > > > "Carlos" <Carlos(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message > news:97475A19-ED25-4BD8-8C28-81073E2821B9(a)microsoft.com... >> Spock, >> The only way to be sure about your memory sticks is to run memtest86+ >> Download version 4.00 from http://www.memtest.org/ >> Run it from a bootable floppy or bootable pen drive. >> Vista and Win 7 seem to be more susceptible to minor memory glitches than >> Windows XP >> Carlos >> >> "spock" wrote: >> >>> Hello All >>> >>> I had decided to install Vista X64 every so often when you try and boot >>> up you get the >>> dreaded BSOD which displays >>> >>> NMI: parity error / memory parity error >>> >>> Why did Install Vista ?

Windows Vista has A memory diagnostic program at f-8 screen. This will test your memory. Very good tutorial go here: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial146.html "spock" <vk5abcnospam(a)optusnet.com.au> wrote in message news:uskpYwDZKHA.4992(a)TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl... > Hello All > > I had decided to install Vista X64 every so often when you try and boot up > you get the > dreaded BSOD which displays > > NMI: parity error / memory parity error > > Why did Install Vista ?
