Quaestor 0 Posted December 6, 2000 Hello all, maybe someone had same problem and successfully solved it- Tiberian Sun shows "Memory cannot be "read"" and refuses to run at all. It happened after installing SP1 and new mobo and videocard... Maybe someone saw similar message and knows what it means actually? ------------------ Share this post Link to post
MarksmanX 0 Posted December 6, 2000 When those "memory cannot be read" errors appear on my screen it's time for a format and a clean install It gets very annoying when this happens. Plus I get a NTkernel error when I install new hardware. I have no idea why NT is soo damn picky on new hardware. But ooooh the stability. I have never got BSOD yet, unlike 9X which was a very common occurence during the day I have ECC ram from crucial (512 to be exact). I asked them about it and they told me that a fresh install usually fixes it. Files do become corrupt overtime. No suchthing as an error free OS But Windows 2000 is pretty close to it. Try a clean install with your new hardware. Remember install the OS than update immediately to SP1. Make sure everything is updated before installing new drivers for your hardware. ------------------ Supermicro P6DBE Rev 3.0 Motherboard Dual Intel Pentium III 850 512 MEGS of ECC RAM Sound Blaster Live!

Quaestor 0 Posted December 7, 2000 Well, seems like complete reinstall didn't help! :-) Could it be problem with SP1? As sign on CD says-"This is the new Retail version of w2k pro with the sp1 already part of the install" Noway I can get rid of it... ------------------ Share this post Link to post

Quaestor 0 Posted December 12, 2000 RPC started for sure! I read lots of FAQ's saying RPC must be among few services, that must be running! Thank you anyway! ------------------ Share this post Link to post
