One of the ram modules in my computer has sudden developed a fault that
prevents Vista from booting up without causing a bluescreen. If I run the memory diagnostic it says there is an error, and then the subsequent reboot will let Vista boot up. And this is now the only procedure that lets Vista boot up. It blue screens on boot up even in Safe Mode. Well, anyway, once I have run the memory diagnostic tool and gotten Vista to fully boot, it appears to work just fine. What I would like to know, is if there is a way to force Vista to boot up without me having to first run the memory diagnostic tool? I will be replacing the module that is faulty but until then, it would be nice to have a temporary workaround. Perhaps even something I could use to tell the OS to simply not use the 16 MB region where the fault exists. Anyone? |

If no one in the general group has an idea, you might try the folks in
microsoft.public.windows.vista.hardware_devices. Those folks are pretty savvy. "Dfrey1969" <Dfrey1969> wrote in message news:4880 [..] |

try making the ram speed slower...
or increase the latency or the other settings in the bios... If the ram sticks are not identical, it may not be a true "fault" but an incompatibility due to different brands- types. I have seen this all the time, in fact one of my computers needs to adjust the bios making the ram to run a bit slower so everything can work ok... try it, and tell me if it helped :-) "Dfrey1969" <Dfrey1969> wrote in message news:4880 [..] |

The only way to exclude the bad RAM would be to remove it from the system
and/or replace it with good RAM. Windows has no way to map around bad memory. |
