Aaron Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 Looks like a bad RAM module. Run memtest86 and loop it 10 times and see if any errors are reported. You can burn the memtest86 ISO to CD and it will automatically boot from it.http://www.memtest86.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggtyh Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 AaronXP is always faster than me... grrrAnyways, I'd guess it's defective RAM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zivan56 Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 It may just be time for a re-install though. Im guessing if its trying to read the section it already wrote to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lucas4394 Posted October 5, 2003 Author Share Posted October 5, 2003 after runing memTest, it didn't find any errors. any clues? in fact, i hadthis problems be4, i reinstalled the windows system already. withoutinstalling lots of softwares on my pc, it doesn't have this kind of problem.for some avi media files, i need toinstall the codec to decode those ****media files. does the codec cause this kind of problem?thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggtyh Posted October 5, 2003 Share Posted October 5, 2003 It depends on the codec, I guess.Even if I've never experienced that kind of error while manipulating Divx (or any other mpeg4) files, I suggest you to install the latest codec available.I'd even suggest you to install ffdshow, wich is a filter that decodes all Divx and Xvid content. It's free and light. You can get it here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
