Russia Wants to Launch Manned Mission to Mars
Raul654 writes "The Maimi Herald, via the Associated Press, is reporting that Russia wants to launch a manned mission to mars. The article says that the Russians are hoping to work closely with the European Space Agency and/or NASA. The 6 person, 440 day trip would cost around $20 billion. Should be interesting to see how this shapes up. See also here for mirror article."

Sounds like you have some bad hardware, probably RAM. It sounds like your RAM is becoming too dynamic. You need to change it back into 'static' RAM. To do this, remove the RAM modules from your motherboard and place them on a table. Shuffle your feet and/or rub a baloon in your hair, then zap the modules with static electricity. Repeat this a few times, then put them back in your computer; all should be well.
If this does not work, I'd still bet on a RAM problem of sorts, which narrows it to your L2 cache. Repeat the proceedure above, replacing the RAM modules with your processor. Be sure and charge every pin, or it may not work afterwards. You don't want the static to dissipate and make it dynamic again, so don't put the static dissipation device (commonly called a 'heatsink') back on. Power up your computer again, and the problem should solve itself.
No, really, it does sound like a hardware fault. Probably RAM - try swapping your modules around.
