Diagnosing CTD - could use some help

bert8for3 · 09-25-08, 06:22 PM

Well, I've got CTD's all of a sudden. I sure could use some advice how to go about diagnosing.

Last night, I thought it was a recently-installed prog that decided to run an auto-update. I uninstalled the prog, but now I've CTD'd again, so it wasn't that.

I'd post the little Windows error screenie, but I wasn't able to capture it. Is there an error log saved somewhere?

I guess I'll start with testing my RAM. edit/add: BTW what's a good memtest utility. I just tried memtest34a, but says you have to run it from a floppy, which I don't have. Then run virus and malware scans, although I'm pretty sure I'm clean. Beyond that ....
