Bootup error When booting up I get following error: "Memory write/read failure at 3FFF0020, read 10FE10FF expecting 10FF10FF Memory address line faiure at 3FFF000, read 10FF10FF expecting 00000000 Strike the F1 key to continue, F2 to run the setup utility I then press F1 and windows boots up to desktop but then shortly after I receive a quick error on the screen too fast to read and then the system goes back to the same error above. This occurred while I was online reading something and then the laptop just went haywire. Any ideas?

You have a dodgy memory module in the laptop.
By the sounds of it, and the fact you can get into Windows then you will probably have 2 memory modules installed and it is probably in the second one there is an error.

If there are 2 modules in there, remove the second one and try that, then if it still fails put that one back in and remove the first.

If there is only one module in the laptop, then move it from the slot it is in to the other slot. Besure to push it in properly. There is a notch on the memory modules so they will only go in one way.

Hope that helps =)

Memory address line failure read 64646444 expecting 64646464 i have tried to reseat memory I also can't access seput or boot up

Malfunctioning memory module - replace it and try again. If you get a similar result then the defect is in the memory controller from the motherboard. This is unfixable, the motherboard is dead - replace it.

Computer does not boot up. Keeps on coming to the same screen that say - Alert! Previous attempts at booting this system have failed at check point (Vcls). For help in resolving this problem, please...

Hello - Did you recently add or change the RAM? The error your receiving is saying there is a RAM hardware problem.
Unless you have experience with working inside the machine (adding or removing components like ram) it probably will save you aggravation in the long run to get on the phone with Dell support.
Good Luck, Mikeywaf

Open the router, remove the memory sticks and reseat them. Sounds like the memory channels are having issues if the memory itself isn't the problem.

I cant boot up my computer(memory address line failure)

This is clearly a problem with the memory. You can try two things:

1) Remove and reseat the memory sticks (with the unit unplugged)
2) Swap the boards around. Windows is not very tolerant of errors in the lower portion of memory. Swapping around the boards will change the relationship of physical memory addresses to virtual addresses. At the very least, the memory swap may help to determine which memory stick is defective.

Please keep us posted.

Cant boot up Computer- Memory address line failure

From the failures its probably a RAM memory problem , which means that you should try a different ram module that is working , or if possible try the ram module of this pc in another one thats working.
