Is there an easy, straight forward way to check the RAM memory sticks
in my computer? This is an older computer, running Windows XP Pro with
SP3 installed.
The computer has a Gigabyte S-Series motherboard...GA-P35-DS3L with an
Intel P35 Express chipset.
I set it up with an Intel Core 2 Duo CPU, E6750l @ 2.66 GHz and two
2.67 GHz, 2.0 GB RAM sticks.
From time to time, when I try to start this computer it will beep a
series of beeps of about one second on and one second off. At this
time the CPU cooling fan will start and stop in sync with the beeps.
I can press the OFF switch and do a restart and this usually clears
the problem for the time being, but it will show up again the next
time I do a cold start. This may indicate a thermally related problem,
but I don't know how to check this out.
Sometimes, during shut-down, I see a very brief error message that
doesn't last long enough for me to read, but it seems to be indicating
a problem with writing or reading some RAM address.
How is the best way to check the RAM out and verify that the problem
is in the RAM sticks, before I go buy replacements?
Thanks, Gordon
