M dot machine SUX
So after loosing 2 of my 4 dimm slots a few months ago and popping in 2x 4gb modules to get my 8 gigs back....
I was working just now and my keyboard shortcuts were going haywire... like the number pad stopped working than keys were doing the wrong functions so I rebooted...
And when I did the bios said 6gb of ram available... and so does the system...Sigh... So it seems like this mainboard just really wants to die.... I haven't installed anything or made any hardware changes recently...
In the bios it says 644k of system memory?! And 6144 of extended memory...wtf is that about...
Well yeh it suX...So I'll have to RMA the board and not have a workstation for a bit... I've been mirroring my work directory on one of my render nodes so I shouldn't lose much time/work.
I just remembered before it went haywire...the mouse was getting stuck or jumping around and doing weird things for about an hour... then the number pad stopped working... then keys stopped working correctly.... so reboot and missing ram...
Just wondering if it has to do with it having no paging file... i disable the paging file a long time ago... Hmmm cause when it started going haywire I had like 7 memory intensive apps going....Brought to you by professional weirdo M dot Strange.
