already diagnosed bad ram... what about other hardware?
Posted: Sat May 13, 2006 9:23 pm
first of all, thank you so much to all the developers of this amazing tool. so far, i have already pinpointed bad ram on my fiance's laptop. i want to replace the ram, but before i do, i want to test the rest of her hardware, to make sure that the ram is the only problem.
as a sidenote, she has a laptop, so if there are too many pieces of hardware that are broke, it may not be fixable, and i want to be sure before i put money into a irrepairable computer... i'm concerned, because apparently its common for her computer to get *very* hot, and lately, she has been having alot of bluescreens and unstability in general. i'm concerned that she may have fried more than just ram.
so basically, i'm looking for some direction as to how i can test her motherboard and cpu. i've checked out her hdd, and it is good. those are the only two other pieces of hardware that i can think of that may be causing problems. thank you so much, and i apologize for my noobishness. i'm very new to ubcd, and the utilities in it.
