The instructions at "0x00402423" referenced memory at "0x000000074". The memory could not be "read".

I am receiving this error when I run nightly batches. a simple reboot makes the error go away but periodically the error will return.

I am running MS 2000 Server w/SP4. I dont believe this to be a memory issue.

Any suggestions would be helpful.

Google and get memtest and run it for atleast 7 passes, any errors and you need to replce your ram.

I have over 100G of free space I cant believe it is a memory issue... any other suggestions?

Hard drive space has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with possibly faulty ram. Hard drives and ram are 2 entirely different things. Google both if you don't believe me.

You have asked for help, i have offered some!

 

[Alexc3216]

thank you so much for your input.
I was misunderstood before.

what I am going to do is call dell to run the memory test because I am receiving this error on one of my servers.

I will keep you posted on the memory test.

thanks again,.

Cool, the symptoms you described are classic ram fault ones.

Dell ran memory test and all was good.
any other ideas?

 

[Rik]

What test(s) did they run?

 

[Alexc3216]

I am running a Power edge 2800
so they ran a Power Edge Diagnostic 2.9

 

[Alexc3216]

checked everything but network cards because the server is live.
all came back with no errors.
Specifically the system memory - the test operation completed successfully. No errors
