I moved my GPU and RAM from my college PC to my home setup. I had two 16GB DDR3 kits. When I returned at the start of the semester, one kit kept booting in a loop. I removed it and kept it on my desk. For spring break, I considered leaving the PC running with FAH but needed to keep some RAM active. I put one stick back in and it worked, then the other did too. Could RAM errors disappear after sitting for a while? Also, would running the PC with these faulty sticks for a week cause a crash or damage?
It might have been just a new RAM installation that resolved the issue, sometimes all it takes is cleaning the hardware. It's similar to blowing on old Nintendo cartridges and trying again.
