Have disk installation GBM ;) I gave you a step by step in a previous page, just read backwards. I think that communications controller is your LAN card ;)
 
Oh yes, thanks for the reminder.

Well removing that driver got the Update error to re-appear. :rolleyes:

I'll see how things go from here.
 
I ran a Windows Memory Diagnostic test just now. It failed 2 out of 6 tests. Does this mean my RAM is faulty? Could the blue screen errors be related to Memory?

I think there must be something wrong here, since I tried to install Adobe Acrobat Reader and it, would you believe it, told me that there isn't enough memory available. :eek: :eek: :sick:

What to do......
 
Right click on My Computer, select properties.

Click advanced>settings at the first option>advanced>check your virtual memory settings>set it to minimum 800mb>maximum>2000mb.

Try it now ;)
 
Right, I set it to the values you recommended.

Just for the record, they were set to Min: 1400MB, Max: 2900MB.

Anyway, I did the test again and it still failed 2 out of 6 tests. :(
 
Okay dude, I can't see your pc from here, I'm shooting hoops :p

You change the virtual memory settings back to what it was before. I thought it would be on system managed size.

I see this:

Understanding Windows Memory Diagnostic results

If Windows Memory Diagnostic completes the first pass and reports no errors, then your RAM is probably working correctly. It is unlikely that Windows Memory Diagnostic will find any errors with your RAM on subsequent passes using the same settings. If you want to test your RAM more completely, you can run the extended test suite by pressing T while Windows Memory Diagnostic is running. You should then let Windows Memory Diagnostic run overnight. If you change the test suite or any of Windows Memory Diagnostic settings, the test pass will restart from the beginning.

If Windows Memory Diagnostic detects any errors with your RAM, the screen is updated with information about the error. A result of Failed for a test indicates that particular test detected an error. If any tests fail, then your computer has failing hardware.

If Windows Memory Diagnostic detects errors in your hardware, you should correct the errors and run Windows Memory Diagnostic again until you get a report of no errors before you attempt to run Windows again. If you do not, Windows may not work correctly. You can attempt to identify the specific failing memory component. However, if errors are detected and your computer is under warranty, we recommend that you contact the manufacturer for troubleshooting.
