random reboots in GW
I seem to have a GW crashing problem in that the game frequently crashes due to a memory could not be read error, and more seriously, random reboots of the system.
When I reboot, I usually get one or more systata.xml errors reported (see attached for details). I don't have a screenshot of the GW error unfortunately. These errors only occur in GW. I did some reading in tech forums, and this seems to be a bad memory problem. However I ran the latest version of memtest 86+ for hours (9 passes) and got no errors. So is this a bad memory problem and should I get new ram? Any other ideas (other than junking the old PC and getting a new one)? My specs are: 2.4 Gig Athlon, 1 gig Corsair DDR ram, Geforce 6800. Any help would be greatly appreciated! |

It could be an overheating problem, not necessarily directly tied to your RAM. Overheated gfx card, overheated northbridge, and overheated CPU can also produce memory errors through corruption.
I would personally suspect CPU overheating; you could try significantly underclocking your CPU and see if the problem disappears. |

It could be bad RAM on the video card itself. I think Memtest86 just tests main RAM.
