Get the following error message when attempting to startup

Memory write/read failure at 3FFF018, read FF12FF10, expecting FF10FF10
Memory address line failure at 3FFF0000, read FF10FF10, expecting 00000000

The amount of system memory has changed


I am then given the option of stating Windows XP Pro normally, which I do, then windows starts to boot and then crashes again. I can do this several times all with the same results. However, sometime, in a blue moon after getting the error message I am able to boot up successfully.

No idea what is going, any and all help would be appreciated.

Thanks

go to www.memtest86.org and follow the instructions for making a bootable ram test disk...and run it for about 2 hours...report any errors

Go to www.memtest86.org
