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?
