So I’ve been getting a 134# error from a game I’m sure many people know of as world of warcraft. I’ve been hunting down answers from the WoW support forums and they pointed to either my firewall is up (which it isn’t) or my memory has in some way failed. So I used the memory tester that came with vista 32 bit. I ran the test twice once with the cache on, that test passed. The other time with the cache off and that failed with in the first 2%. I was wondering if there is some way to fix this problem with out replacing the 2 ram cards that I have?
-2x 2gb DDR2-800 ram sticks, Cl5-5-5-15, 1.8-1.9v
-MSI P6N SLi Platinum motherboard
-400gb HD
-NVIDIA GeForce 8500gt videocard
-2.0 GHz E4400 Intel Core 2 duo processor
-Windows Vista 32bit (I’m aware that I can only access up to 3 GB of my RAM, I don’t think that it has caused the problem but I’m not sure any input on this would be great)
Thanks a lot :P
 
i'd remove one of the sticks and try and see if you still get the error. And just keep on switching untill you've tried either of the sticks in several banks. If you still have the error your memory is fried.
 
I’ve found the bad stick, the tech support people got back to me and said that I should use a program called memtest to test each stick separately. He also said that I should ensure that they are running off of 1.9v. Now in my bios screen it says 1.8v, as does CPUZ. I was wondering if that .1v could make that one stick fail? Is there is away to change the voltage under the BIOS (I know that there is but I can’t find the option anywhere)? My BIOS is AMI V1.0D
