    Having weird memory errors

    So I was having issues with this old S478 machine with a Celeron D. Ran a memtest on it and no matter how many of the 4 slots were occupied or how many different sticks of RAM, it would come up with 286 errors every time. So I figured the memory controller was bad.

    Replaced it with a newer board with the same chipset and it seems to be running fine. I ran memtest just cause I was curious and the same problem. Only 2 slots on this board but no matter what I use, it comes up with 286 errors. The hard drives are unplugged. Any idea what could be causing this kind of issue? I appreciate any feedback

    Have you tried another PSU? Also try messing about with the memory timings and speeds.

      Alright, I'll try that right now. Thanks for the input!

      Edit: Tried a different PSU and got the same amount of errors. Gonna see if I can mess with the memory timings and speed in the BIOS now. I hope it has options for that!
      Unfortunately no settings for the memory...
