Bushfiva and Saab - ran memory diagnostics and with the memory module installed on pass 1 at about 3% it identified a hardware problem and advised me that i would have to contact the manufacturer.......... "yeah right!"
It continued the tests and took more than 2 hours at which point it tried a restart and failed with a stop code of 0xc000000d
Removed the module and tested again and within 15 minutes it completed the tests stating no problems found.
Ok now could it still be the board in the vicinity of the extra ram bay with a problem which only occurs if ram installed?
Yes Saab the memory configurator states this is the "chosen one". Its transcend who do give a l;ifetime warranty but since i bought it on ebay and over a year ago but no longer have the receipt..... well.......
Bloody shame as they are 60 quid a piece!
Oh and the sony vaio forum seems a bit quiet on this one......
Next move?
