After getting the GB bios to use a flashdrive w/memtet86 I've gone 12 hrs and 8 passes w/o error for 4 sticks, 6GB total, of DDR2. Have to assume previous boot issues were due to selection of ram slots so if I get to 20 passes I'll trust the ram is good (ram is used).
Next I'll unlock but not OC a Phenom II 550 to see if I get the extra cores. Where can I find a memtet86 manual? Can I config to test just the cpu? Obviously the test covers cache, and a wonky chip will kill memtest just as it would fail the OS. But can memtest86 tell me if other parts of the cpu are bad? I do not know what tests are found in 'configuration'.
That's it.
Thanks for any feedback,
Mac
