- I have an a4000. I get the following problems using the 030, a warp
- 4040, and a gvp gforce 040 with a gvp a4008. I get software failures
- daily on all different tasks. I think the message I usually get is
- something similar to "Failed Sanity Check on MemFree()". The guru
- numbers I get are 810000050 and 0100000c0. It makes no difference what
- cards (if any) and what cpu is in my system. Sometimes my system will
- stay up for 20 hours, but it usually dies after 5 hours or so.
-
- I thought I had solved the problem a month ago. While looking around, I
- found a small screw resting against (actually more like wedged against)
- one of the cia's. When I removed the screw, my IDE began working again
- (it had stopped working a year ago - around the same time my ram-guru
- problems started). I thought the problem was solved. It wasn't. Just
- the other day my disk drive stopped working totally. I haven't tried
- another drive yet. Everything seem to be pointing towards my CIA's.
- Before replacing them though, I wanted to find out if somebody has an
- idea what else may be wrong. I would like to fix things properly.
-
- My parallel port and my clock work fine if that tells you anything... I
- figured they would be screwy if the CIA's were in need of replacing.
-
- Please help me. I have a nice a system while it's working!
-
- Thanx in advance.
