RE: [Sheflug] H/W fault?

["Paul Sims" <nospam [at] lombard.co.uk>]

You may be correct then. The problem being reported in virtual memory space 
is odd, but it may indicate a dodgy register in the CPU. My first guess is 
that the mobo shouldn't come into play with virtual mem - it's the OS which 
supplies the mapping of CPU address space to physical RAM & swap, 
presumably a lot of register switching is involved. I'd borrow a CPU from 
another box to try in your  pc & run your CPU in the other to see if the 
problem moves with the CPU or stops with the mobo.

Good luck,


Paul.
