MemTest Halts

[topdawgg]

On test #8 Memtest halts. Does that mean that I should just replace the memory? I am not sure what my timings on my memory are supposed to be, but the memory is set at 5 - 5 - 5 - 18.

Thats whats on the memory itself, but I swore I bought kingston memory :(


MEMORY (2GB 800mhz)
States:
Buffalo Select D2u800C-2gb/BJ
PC2-6400U-555

***If i should replace my memory, any suggestions?

Thanks.

It means something's wrong, it could be anything really. But please be aware that this forum is not intended for help with solving hardware issues. You can read the Memtest FAQ which contains some pointers on how to troubleshoot hardware problems.

Thanks for the response, I was just going to purchase new memory but now you have me worried :P

It is usually wisest to test with other hardware you have available, either from spare parts you have, from another computer you have, or parts which you can borrow from a friend or family member to troubleshoot. If you do need to buy replacement hardware to troubleshoot the problem make sure it's refundable.
