I get my Compal IFL90 in Israel. Here they called (Infinity FL90 CD1)
they come by default with: T7500 CPU,4gb of Digma ram, Pioner multy dvd burner slot (like on macbooks),and Samsung 160gb HDDs.
And I was enable to pass MemTest86+ with all off 4gb of my ram.
one by one all stics of ram passes in all controllers I try 8 stics of ram on two identical computers (me and my friend we buy together two pieces of IFL90).
I returned Ram stics and recived spare and the same thing,I couldnt pass memtest and Prime95 test too.
The wierd thing that my laptop is solidrock stable.
And my friends laptop is faulty (BSOD,cannot install XP from original CD with USB floppy and Intel sata drivers, cannot install some programs i/o errors)
All this problems i do not have on my laptop with the same installers.
and i installed XP from my original cd with the same USB floppy,with the same Intel drivers.And my friends only install from slipstreamd XP CD and after two tryings.
I do HDD check With didicated Samsung HDD check Utility and no errors.
Then i suspect a faulty RAM.I check it with MemTest86+,with a lot of errors.
Then i Checked RAM sticks separately in random controlers in my friend machine.Both show a lot of errors.And i wonder may be it is motherboard issue
and checked his sticks on my machine with the same resault.
Than i check my stiks on his machine And ONE of two of MY sticks was FAULTY!!!!!!
And after All the combinations (My Ram on his machine, his on mine, one by one, all together, one controller, two controllers, swap controllers, day by day...............).
Same resultat TREE OF FOUR STICKS WAS FAULTY!!!!!!!!
I returned Leptops For Repair.
Than I Get Three Spare Ram sticks from my retailer.
I tested them One by One And them was OK Untill........
I PUT THEM TOGETHER!!!!!!!!!!
TOGETHER THEY DID NOT PASS TEST ON BOTH MACHINES IN ALL COMBINATIONS!!!!!!
The did not pass prime95 to "FATAL ERROR: Rounding was 0.5, expected less than 0.4
Hardware failure detected, consult stress.txt file."
But the wierd thing that on my computer prime95 runs for 2.5 hours
and on my friend machine hangs up immideatly.
It is strange even to think that 8 mem sticks is faulty or two laptops is faulty.
And this memory one by one passes the test in all memory controllers
Ours BIOS IS The LAST 1.12
I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO!!!!!
MY CONCLUSIONS :
1)Bad Coded Compal Bios
2)Low Voltage CPU ,MEMORY (and We cant change it in ours pfoenix impotent BIOS)
3)Overheating
4)Mem test Do not Support our computers. Prime95 too.
5)i have checked HDD.
6) I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO.
7) HELP ME PLEASE!!!!!!
Anybody run this test on his compal IFL90?
Thank you for your help.

Are you sure that XP can support more than 3G of ram?
-
it depends on architecture not on the system
32-bit architecture can handle up to 4 GB ram

May be my problem is BIOS 1.12?
IFL90 cannot pass MemTest86+ and Prime95 test
