Re:I know for sure that he uses RD RAM. Still waiting for him to get back to me with those CPU-Z screenshots…

Oh, and I remember the specs somewhat well because we built our systems at relatively the same time and I helped him shop for a lot of the components. I went with the DDR2700 and recommended him to do the same, but he just wanted to go with the rambus mobo and memory :confused:

Re:With all the corruption he's getting, it's either Ram or Hard drive going south. Have him run Memtest for the Ram and Western Digital's hard drive test on his drive.

Good luck! :)


Print Your Screen – Probably Fastest Screen To Print Software Ever
Re:For it not being your computer, that is good spec remembering :) If you can nail down what mobo, that would be great. If it really does use RAMBUS RDRAM then it's 4th down and time to send in the punter ;)

From the symptoms, I was thinking maybe memory failure, insufficient memory voltage or maybe a bad PSU causing insufficient memory voltage as a secondary effect. If there is a possibility of needing to buy new stuff, he could always start with a beefy ATX 2.0 power supply like maybe an Antec TruePower 480, and if that isn't a cure then at least he has one of the parts he'll need in order to rebuild with a new present-day mobo & CPU.

On a practical note, I heard good things about this data-recovery software if he needs some: http://www.r-studio.com Smack the drive into a healthy system and run that and see what it could recover. Hope that helps! :)

Re:It's a self built computer. As far as I can remember, he has an Antec case with one of those TruePower powersupplies at 450w, P4 2.4ghz, 512 RD RAM, a western digital harddrive w/8mb cache, audigy2, and a geforce ti4200. No RAID. Unfortunately, I don't remember his motherboard or the chipset. I'll ask him to run CPU-Z when he gets back to me.

I think it was built either late 2002 or early 2003.
