RAM faults

Oh hai guys bit of a question for you. I thought it might be more related here than /g/ who whine about random crap all day long.

Why is it that if I have some faulty RAM Windows tells me parts of my hard drive are corrupt?

I know this isn't tech support, I have fix'd the problem by putting in some new RAM but this problem has occurred in the past on 2 separate computers.

The recent trouble ended up having windows saying the 'system' directory in the windows folder is corrupt and that I should repair it using the XP install CD.

The previous problem resulted in a BSOD talking about some page faults in non paged area's.

In both times all I did was change the RAM and things worked fine again.

I'm a computing student so I know a few basic things about pages and paged area's, so any idea's why this happens?

>so any idea's why this happens?

I think it's an incorrect apostrophe allocation error. To fix it, just sage this thread into oblivion.

GTFO, we are not interested in such disgusting topics as computer hardware. Our programs are pure and free constructions, disregarding the filthy, unreliable nature of the machines operating them.

1. Request DMA read from disk to RAM or write from RAM to disk
2. ?????
3. "Filesystem corrupt"

Wait, are you sure you have correctly diagnosed it's due to faulty RAM? You mentioned it happened several times in the past. Faulty RAM is kind of rare. Which RAM diagnosis tool are you using? I hope you ran memtest86 or similar.

Otherwise I suspect you just got your typical Windows BSODs, or failed something, or actually have no fucking clue of what you're doing and saying and have wasted money replacing sound RAM modules in which case you'd deserve the loss of money.

Truth. We are programmers, not shitty electrical engineers.

I get BSODS on calls to FlushIOAdapterBuffers, which is deprecated but no idea why some apps still use it

DMA fails, BSODS MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION

The SHIT IS THIS what you want   to be a   package waiting on   your door this.
