Ok, for all of you techies out there, take a look. (NG doesn't seem to have a tech forum, so here we go).
I'm running a PC, and recently I've been getting a lot of bluescreens. I opened up the case, everything seems to be plugged in, I checked the cards, the ram, the HDD, cores, etc.
So I still have the problem and I run diagnostics through BIOS. It says that the RAM is the problem, but the "area of error" is BIOME- 1.
Anyone knows what this means? Should I get new ram? Or are the motherboard ports fucking up?
I can give more info if anyone asks for it.
I just really don't want to waste money on RAM if the ports are the problem.

Did you call tech support?

Also, this doesn't really belong on Wi/Ht?

Late reply.

Have you tried taking out and re-seating the RAM?

If you have more than one RAM module, take one out and turn your computer on until you find the faulty RAM stick. For example, you might have 2GB of RAM dual channelled in 2 x 1GB sticks, so take one out and reboot.

But, yeah, you have a faulty, or an improperly seated RAM stick.

Just saying that stuff like that would usually go here, I think.
