Hey Guys,

Llisten to Chris Shrukain, believe it or not, if you carefully follow the instructions on the site, it just works. I know that it is kind of odd, the first time I ran Memtest I couldn't figure out if I was doing it right, or what I was supposed to do.

If you are having trouble understanding the instructions, just let us know and we will walk you through them step by step.

We're here for you M8

Looking forward to your reply,

TTFN

LGW

But...but I don't have another computer to download anything with. I'm typing on a Wii/ library computer. Anyway, I took it into a shop now, so should be fine. Thanks for all of all of your help.

Oh Shrukain, we probably should have asked that first. We made the incorrect assumption that you were working from another PC you could work from.

If the shop doesn't work out. Come on back, we'll come up with some different advice.

If it does, come on back, and let us know. We love happy endings.

Gonna mark this one Pending until we hear one way or another from you.

Looking forward to seeing you in the forums.

TTFN

If it gets fixed at the shop ask them what they did, if you post it here you might just help someone else who is having the same problem
