    Angry Does anyone know?

    I got this computer dumped on me yesterday details are
    K6-3+450
    Gigabyte 5AX
    WD200
    128megs PC133
    TNT2 M64
    Sound Blaster Live
    Win98se
    The problem goes like this once setup will run for a few days with no probs then all of a sudden it will start throwin' up errors everywhere.
    I've run the System File Checker quite a few times and every time I have to replace corrupted files everywhere (no particular ones).
    I thought that it may have been a crook hard drive so I down loaded WD's diagnostic utility but that tells me the drive's ok.
    Can anyone help me with any programs that will check Memory And Cache's for errors.
    The Ide cables have been change for known good ones too.
    Thanks for any help given as this computer is drivin' me NUTS

    Sorry but this is the Highly Technical PC section of Sharky Forums - stuff like this doesn't get posted here.

    Also, it's considered bad forum etiquete to post threads in different Forums of the same subject/problem.

    BTW, I answered in your other thread, and gave a link for a memory tester, should you be wanting.
