I have had every single generation of PC open on my or my fathers or my desk since I was about 12. MS-Dos on an XT, all the way to now, 7 on i7. I have supported every single platform. You know how people call the smart kid next door for PC help nowadays? I was that kid in the early 80s, and still am now. Like an old school mechanic, my experience eclipses most, but if there are some specifics to something, like the exact kind of memory error we are talking about, I could be wrong, and can admit that. But I just learned form you, that a BSOD will happen before a screen error.
I have solved every single PC hardware, software, and configuration issue since then. Every personal or professional problem was resolved. I was a working on PC's before the "dot com" revolution. I am Dell certified for all their hardware, including servers.
Modern machines are far easier to support, and you need to know far, FAR less. It's easier for people now. I guarantee for each thing about 'computers' that you know that I don't, I have my own bag of things you don't. It's wise to learn from those around you.
Just sayin'.
I'm just here to try to help Modbaraban, but you seem to be here to prove I can't.
You where bragging and misleading, that's not help. May be you can, I don't know.
BTW I learned programming at the age of 12, not speaking English, with one of these:

Enough with the pissing context.
Fair enough bro
I was not trying to look better or worse in knowledge than you. I just refuse to let you make me look like I don't know what I am doing in front of my peers, many of whom I have helped in he past. Calling my knowledge BS, instead of one sentence in one post, is how we got here. People have pride, as we have both proven.
Sorry for my adverse reaction.
This is a very public place, and I will not be told what I know is BS on it, like many other people would.
At least you can appreciate old hardware. Maybe the 1st computer I ever used (learned to spell my middle name on actually) you may find interesting.
Honeywell Level 6
All old school nerds get respect.
Techs seem to enjoy pissing contests, but maybe part of my success is my keenness to work together
There is a program out there called live-f1, but it's linux. You seem to like linux and use it. From what I have read it seems to be very simple timing app that works.
