In general FF builds from about ~6-mos ago seem crashy on both xp, and multiple linux distros for me (though not causing BSDs or anything like that). Seems to correlate to javascripts. I switched to Chrome because of it.

Try running memtest? Although when I had dodgy ram and had lots of BSODs the ram passed the tests.

You speak sooth, old bean. Kokoshky, take note.

Hoo hee?

Ozzgur (as in Oscar Kokoshka, natch): parental right to bestow embarrassing pet names.

We saw some awesome OK pics at the royal academy ~20 years ago.

Make your mind up, we're they awesome or just Ok?

Fine painter, fine son.

They we're awesome.

Should we jump all over you're shit for that?

Bloody thing did it again. Running memtest now, but apparently I'm meant to only have one stick in at a time to test them properly? Is there any point in letting it run with both sticks in or should I cancel it and restart?

If the test fails, then you'll know at least one is bad and should test them separately. Otherwise, they are both fine. IIRC correctly, if it is a memory issue it will likely transpire during a quick test anyway, and there's no real benefit to running the long test.

It's still not done after 5+ hours, but it seems to have flagged errors (65535+ apparently) already. Should I therefore assume at least one of the sticks is faulty and quit the test, then restart it with just one stick plugged in and run the (quick?) test?

Yeah, that sounds plausible. I don't really know much about memtest. I've never had memory fail the tests the very few times I've run it, I've had plenty of other problems to deal with, mostly drives and blown caps on the mb but (so far) not bad memory.

At least, not that you remember  ;-)

Remember what?

I remember as if it were a meal ago.

What did you eat?

That's more of a starter isn't it?
