I recently tried Memtest86 to verify my RAM modules after experiencing several BSODs in the past week. I have four 4GB DDR4 2666MHz RAM sticks. I ran the test multiple times over the last two days. Errors appeared in Test 8 and Test 13 for the first time during testing. A forum suggestion to adjust the SOC voltage when errors were detected was followed. The next run showed errors again in Test 6 and 8 but not in Test 13, suggesting one of the RAM sticks is faulty. I tested pairs and found no issues in the first pair, then again with swapped pairs without errors. It’s unclear if a single defective stick exists. What should I do?

Using more sticks increases the memory controller's workload, allowing it to function with two sticks but not four.

You can verify each RAM stick individually to identify any faulty ones.
