- Hello everyone,
-
- I'm suspecting my Fastmem of not being stable. I have an A1200 with an Apollo
- 28 MHz 68020 + 28 MHz 68881 + 4 MB FastRAM. My computer sometimes crashes, with
- memory-related errors. It could be that I run some buggy software in the
- background, but I'm not sure.
-
- The memorytesters on Aminet report no errors, but they just put some data in
- the RAM, and read it back. Isn't there a more 'violent' RAM tester? I mean, a
- program that does EVERYTHING to the RAM that can be done? I don't know what can
- be done to properly test it, so I'm asking here...
-
- And BTW: Yesterday I got a crash that only (according to Guru 3.0) could occur
- WITHOUT a coprocessor (a 8000000B). Confusing...
