Use specialized tools like MemTest86 or Windows Memory Diagnostic to assess RAM performance.
Use specialized tools like MemTest86 or Windows Memory Diagnostic to assess RAM performance.
Check thoroughly if the RAM you purchased functions perfectly. Run additional tests like stress checks, memory stability scans, and ensure compatibility with your system. Consider consulting manufacturer support or community forums for further verification.
Likely focusing on Y-cruncher and/or extending the testing duration to days perhaps. Unclear exactly what you're aiming for, but it seems you're probably overanalyzing.
It's not feasible. With RAM you can only verify failure, not the reverse, since crashes can happen during specific operations at certain temperatures. You can approach near certainty through extensive stress testing, but you've already pushed beyond what I'd consider safe for a device you didn't suspect issues with. At this stage, just begin using it normally.
isnt that too old like from the 90s? is there anything else more effective?
It's an older model, yet functional. You can also check out this link: https://www.techpowerup.com/memtest64/ For a Windows version.
I've already tried the more efficient options. Memtest86+ is said to perform slightly better, but I haven't seen a noticeable improvement and have found more issues using TM5. Their advantage comes from running on a USB specifically built for RAM testing, ensuring thorough memory checks rather than leaving space for the OS. Whether this really counts depends on other factors.
