Any suggestions?

Can you give us some sort of context for this error? What are you doing when this happens? Was anything changed (new hardware, newly installed software, driver update, etc.) prior to this error occurring? Have you tried anything yet?

I was trying to verify my Mcafee subscription

The script error "Line 899" was fixed with a reinstall of Firefox

The bellow errors occured either during use of my computer or suring start up

Pops up every now and then at boot up or shutdown, shortly after that annoying chime

Happens some times at start up or whenever the computer is on

Happens toward shutdown

The McAfee errors shouldn't be a problem anymore, I re-installed it.

After 5 MBR restores no more errors are popping up, for now.

Sounds like McAfee shit the bed and hosed Windows something fierce. Hooray for crappy anti-virus programs!

I have not run memtest yet, but just when I thought everything was resolved

svchost.exe - Application Error

The instruction "0x77c1df75" referenced memory at "0xffffffff". The memory could not be "read".

Happened when I was surfing with Opera, I was at the B5: IFH homepage at the time.

Okay, I've run Memtest....

After 22 Passes, 5,535 Errors were discovered.

What are my options?

My RAM module is a DDR 333 1GB module I got at
http://parts.emachines.com/emachines/mo ... t_id=69179

I purchased it three months ago, why is it F**ked up now? And is it a $150 paperweight?

My mother's computer recently developed a bad stick of RAM as well. Weird.

One common possibility is if you don't have a surge protector or (even better) an UPS is that your electricity had a spike which fried it. Without a UPS something similar can happen do to those 1sec or less outages. Altough that sort of stuff usualy causes the motherboard plus other components to fry rather then just the RAM.

Some sort of overheating is another possible cause.

Then again, you could have just gotten lucky and got a component that died all on its own during regular usage. It happens.
