Got the same - invalid Memory Size values in Control Panel and BSOD 0x0000008E in win32k.sys. Memory dump is not saved, BSOD frozen on "Initializing disk...". When rebooted I see all two of my RAID arrays broken. I suppose that Memory Dump save routine in kernel occasionally did it.</p> <p>I have rebuilt both RAIDs with no information loss and recovered the system now.</p> <p>To developers:<br /> Can you please maintain all old settings and cache file while configuring new setup in Control Panel, pressing "OK", and trying new setup? And replace old cache and settings ONLY if all new settings applied successfully? Or implement something like "Test new settings" button? This will save users from my kind of endless boot loops. </p> http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/topic/suggestion-for-assigning-physical-drive-letter#post-709 Sat, 31 Oct 2009 20:41:52 +0000 xevius 709@http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/ <p>I am using 6G of ram with windows7 x86 retail version which means I have 2.8G of unmanaged memory that can be used as cache memory. Having 2.8G of system cache memory is really nice but I want more. I'd like to use some area of this unused memory for caching temporary internet files for web browing. Therefore I installed superspeed ramdisk 10 for create physical drive from ramdisk and assigned 800mb of space for temporary internet files and rest of 2G space for eboostr cache. Overall system performance seems even but the speed of web surfing is distinctively faster than using eboostr alone. If eboostr can have physical drive letter and can caching temporary internet files, performance that users would feel will be enormously improved. Moreover, if eboostr can pull internet cache files from all other kinds of webbrowser such as firefox and google chrome which are not using temporary internet files of internet explorer, it would be even nicer. </p> http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/topic/version-4-computer-freezes#post-702 Fri, 30 Oct 2009 14:56:53 +0000 BB 702@http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/ <p>I did it. I've imeediately got a BSOD. :) Renamed EBOOSTR in Safe Mode and recovered. Where can I post screenshots and Memory Dump analysis?</p> <p>P. S. I live in Saint-Petersburg, Russia.

Something like 64-128MB?</p> <p>In case your computer will hang again, please boot into "Safe mode" and delete the hidden folder "EBOOSTR" located on the system drive (it contains the RAM cache file), this will prevent infinite boot loop. </p> http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/topic/version-4-computer-freezes#post-693 Thu, 29 Oct 2009 23:21:16 +0000 BB 693@http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/ <p>RAM size 4096 Mb<br /> Cache size 1024 Mb </p> http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/topic/version-4-computer-freezes#post-634 Sat, 17 Oct 2009 22:18:11 +0000 mradr 634@http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/ <p>Give me a day and I'll check my old parents computer that has DDR 1 to see if thats the problem.
