Subject:   bad RAM? prove it with a crash dump?
Message-ID:  <1005062053260.2629@smasher>

next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
i suspect i've got bad RAM but memtest has run through several dozen 
iterations without a problem. my (3 year old) laptop will run for a few 
days or weeks and then crash/freeze/hang. i've enabled crash dumps and i'm 
wondering if/how the dump might be able to (dis)prove that the RAM is bad. 
any ideas?

thanks...
