I tried this just now with a bootable memtest floppy. This is what i got from the test: I was doing a standard test. I heared continous beeps during test#2 The system hanged at test #7. I rebooted(hard boot) tried with test#7 alone. Again the system hanged. I did this thrice without success. What does this mean? Any idea? Does this indicate a problem with RAM?
