pickup car monday afternoon woohooo
and my dell desktop had a wierd memory issue
random reboots, bluescreens and wierd random windows errors
reinstalled windows the same, spoke to dell, ran bios diags and it found "memory errors" and somehow marked a few memory addresses as "bad"
now its working sweet and it passes all the memory tests
i didnt know you could do that with normal DRAM
with ECC of course but didnt know the BIOS was able to mark certain blocks in memory as bad and skip them
