Memory Error while playing Warcraft 3?

Rich Soryu

I also tried reinstalling the game but it made no difference. This is the only game and program that this happens on. Possible sollutions?

Most of the time this is caused from memory being overclocked to high or not getting enuff voltage. If your not overclocking then try going up one notch on the memory voltage and see if it still gets an error.

And what memory are you using and how much mb?

My computer is not overclocked at all in anyway. I have 1 stick of 512 meg of unbuffered ram. I'll do the voltage right now.

I put the ram in a different slot and increased the AGP voltage a little and it seems to be working fine...

Nope, I still get the error. Any advice? I'll keep messing with the voltage... Do you think the AGP voltage could be too low also causing this?

make sure the agp voltage is at 1.6v and the ram voltage is at 2.8v. if that doesn't work, i would use memtest86 to test the ram and make sure it isn't deffective.

I am guessing my motherboard may have gone bad because I still get the error in War3. Damn. Oh well, guess I'll find out how much it'll cost for an Abit NF7-S.

you should consider getting an MSI, and putting the extra money towards a new chip
