This error is NOT saying that there is something wrong with any of your RAM. This is a program error from some application. |

| Re: memory error what does it mean? Thanks to all who replied. I know there is nothing wrong with my ram, and I have found a very interesting page that suggests the problem might be due to a conflict between an MS update and Java. I was running a half life dedicated server for a pc game when this problem happens, but plenty other people have it just when doing common internet browsing. See futher details below on that. As for the Events, I posting a separately about that. Ok, here are all the steps I have just done to try to solve the problem. I will run server again tonight and after 12 hours I will follow up with you again. The worrisome thing so far is that now serveral people have told me they get this error when they do just common internet browsing. But more gamers than browsers have told me they got it with their games too. So that is why I am doing all the steps below. --------0------------0-----------0------- Run Regedit from run box. Look at the following locations in the registry and change the values from 0 to 1: hkey_local_machine-system-currentcontrolset-control-session manager-memory management and look for DisablePagingExecutive waarde = 1 LargeSystemCache = 1 You can always go back and put the values back to zero if you are skeptical about this one. ---------0---------------0---------- Doubt this next one will do anything for you in regards to this specific memory problem, but you might as well try it to rule it out. I did, and it showed no errors. Go to Run box again and run sfc /scannow. Make sure you have your Windows CD in the cdrom. This checks all your system files to make sure they are not corruopt. You will probably have to hit the Retry button about 40 times because it stops and asks you each time it finds a file that has a problem or doesn't match the original and is not stored on your computer. You can read more about scan fc here: http://www.updatexp.com/scannow-sfc.html ------0----------------0----------- If you have installed Java or bought a computer with Jave on it, you should try this one. I honestly don't know what this one could do with me running a server, but you might as well try it. They actually had a screenshot of the exact error I was getting, so that's why I tried it. And, of course, I never noticed this problem before I installed Java. I did Solution #2 on this webpage: http://www.java.com/en/download/help/ikernel.xml -------0-----------------0---------- And this next tip is a work-around, but I know for sure it works. Most of the people who have complained about this error would not even have known about it had they turned off their error reporting system. So go into Control Panel > System > Advanced tab > and select button Error Reporting. Then uncheck everything except the first one that says Disable Error Reporting. Out of sight out of mind for those who had the error when they were internet browsing. For me, my server might still crash, but we shall see soon enough. ---------0--------------------0---- Ok, this step makes me a little concerned about the guy's knowledge who suggested it. And I really don't think its my problem, even though I did upgrade from 512mb to 1 gig of ram. But alot of ram gurus will tell you to do something similar to this when you get a memory error after you upgraded ram. And it certainly won't hurt you to try it. Note though that for me I could not make the setting 2 times bigger as this guy suggests to do. I could only set the maximum for 17000mb because that is all Windows would let me do, but that is still pretty big. I also believe you are supposed to delete your old pagesys file before you do any of these steps, but he does not say that below. The instructions: Try recreating the virtual memory. For XP system... 1. Right-click on My Computer and select Properties. 2. Click the Advanced Tab and select Settings under the Perfomance Options. 3. Click on the Advanced Tab and select Change under Virtual Memory. 4. Click No Paging File and clisk Set. 5. Click OK, OK, OK and tell the system to restart. 6. Let the system reboot...It will be slower than usual. 7. Right-click on My Computer and select Properties. 8. Click the Advanced Tab and select Settings under the Perfomance Options. 9. Click on the Advanced Tab and select Change under Virtual Memory. 10. Click Custom Size and set the Initial Size to (1.5 times your Physical Memory.) 11. Set Maximum to (2 times your Physical Memory.) 12. Click OK, OK, OK. No reboot required. This problem stems from system images. When a manufacturer creates an image and then changes the memory but does not update the image, memory errors can occur. This can even happen when you upgrade your own system memory. Always recreate the Virtual memory after modifying physical memory. It should prevent these types of errors. |
