Hi. I know this is off topic but it's kinda urgent. I installed
something called DILINUX, drop-in linux. Works fine, boots from a dos
partition. But today after starting my computer I got a "memory test
fail" message. The computer tests memory as usual, then prints a message
about the plug-n-play bios, then this message.
Is there any possibillity a program could damage physical memory?
