The DVD is brand new. How do i use this memory tester? Why would memory fail only when playing a DVD?
Download the program and create a bootable floppy disk. After booting with it, let it run for a few hours through the cycles - if it fails, you have bad RAM. The reason memory may fail when playing a DVD is because software decoders put a heavy load on cpus that are old. If you have a recent cpu > 1GHz, this may not apply, but then you may have an overheating problem.
