I suspect there might be an issue with your RAM.
I've noticed some blue screen occurrences lately. I performed standard checks like sfc /scannow, DISM, and verified there were no driver issues. Then I investigated potential RAM problems by running the Windows RAM diagnostic, which indicated a fault. I checked Memtest 86 and found the results. The RAM was reported as changed on Friday. Could this be related to something else besides the memory?
It's clear your RAM is the issue, which explains why your memtest failed. You'll need to replace the RAM.
I’ll be able to tell if it’s the RAM after installing the new one. If it isn’t the RAM, there could be other factors causing the problem.
The memory test did not succeed, indicating a problem with memory.
Yes, it seems your RAM might be defective. You could test each stick separately. Not every one may be faulty. Additionally, consider reducing the clock speed or adjusting the timing settings. It could be that your CPU isn't up to the task with such fast memory speeds.
I managed to get the warranty resolved and I’ll receive the new 2x8 kit tomorrow. I’ll only swap out the two sticks.
I haven't tested it yet, but it remains unclear why my PC functions with such errors.
Perfect! If you encounter the issue again, reduce the speeds and/or adjust the timings for your RAM. This isn't typical, but your CPU may struggle with the new settings.
they must always fit into slots 2 and 4. that could fix everything.
