I just recently formatted my harddrive and installed windows xp pro on it
(it is a valid copy) and I've been updating and trying to get my computer back to its former state
but I've been having a lot of problems with the bsod
the most common 2 are
0x000000F4 (0x00000003,0x865E5DA0,0x865E5F14,0x805F9F88)
and
KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR
0x0000007A (0xC03DDED8,0xC000000E,0xF77B6D9C,0x24D02860)
[this was also on this error page but im not sure if its of any use]
Ftdisk.sys
address - F77B6D9C
base - F77B0000
datestamp - 3B7D8419
Ive looked up the two errors and both of them say its either a virus or a ram problem
ive checked for viruses with avg and avast and found nothing..
i ran drwatson, hijackthis,chkdisk.. nothing..
and i ran across a topic on here that said to download Memtest86+
and allow it to run for 7 passes at least
I downloaded that and its running right now its still on its first pass though
I was just wondering if it does pull up errors how will I know what ram is bad
and if not are there any other steps I can take to get my system operational??
Thanks for your help in advance,
