I've been having problems with my new Mushkin PC150 memory. I'm currently running with just the two 128MB Mushkin PC150 DIMMS at 2-2-2 w/DRAM idle: 10 and SDRAM MA Wait State: Normal. The problem is that I get a page fault (exception 0E) in VCACHE.VXD when I shut down Win98. The shut down completes enough to clear the dirty bit in the FS (ScanDisc doesn't run on startup) before it faults. Windows manages the virtual memory settings and there's still some free space on the swap drive when I shut down. The fault goes away when I pull the second DIMM out (running at 128 MB). I still get the fault (running at 256 MB) if I change the memory timings to 2-2-2-8-Normal or the SPD setting of 3-2-2-10-Normal (which is incorrect, see other thread). Is there a system setting I should change/check? The cache settings should automatically be adjusted for RAM size from what I was able to determine.
