Hi guys,

I put another 16GB (2x8GB) of Corsair CMK16GX4M2B3000C15 in my machine about 2 moths ago, and ever since I have had random BSODs with varying messages. I have never had one in the previous 3 years with my machine,, pointing to to be the new sticks of RAM. I ran memtest86 yesterday and it shows 39 errors. In the results HTML file here are the last 10 errors

2018-12-22 12:25:05 - [Data Error] Test: 8, CPU: 2, Address: 7E0E36F80, Expected: 910E653C, Actual: 110E653C
2018-12-22 12:24:52 - [Data Error] Test: 8, CPU: 2, Address: 771C36340, Expected: A0461925, Actual: 20461925

2018-12-22 12:22:58 - [Data Error] Test: 8, CPU: 4, Address: 414E1E0C0, Expected: 4515EDDE, Actual: C515EDDE
2018-12-22 12:22:35 - [Data Error] Test: 8, CPU: 4, Address: 3658992C0, Expected: 4DD008EB, Actual: CDD008EB

and here is the overall result,

Test # Tests Passed Errors
Test 0 [Address test, walking ones, 1 CPU] 4/4 (100%) 0
Test 1 [Address test, own address, 1 CPU] 4/4 (100%) 0
Test 2 [Address test, own address] 4/4 (100%) 0
Test 3 [Moving inversions, ones & zeroes] 4/4 (100%) 0
Test 4 [Moving inversions, 8-bit pattern] 4/4 (100%) 0
Test 5 [Moving inversions, random pattern] 4/4 (100%) 0
Test 6 [Block move, 64-byte blocks] 4/4 (100%) 0
Test 7 [Moving inversions, 32-bit pattern] 4/4 (100%) 0
Test 8 [Random number sequence] 0/4 (0%) 39
Test 9 [Modulo 20, ones & zeros] 4/4 (100%) 0
Test 10 [Bit fade test, 2 patterns, 1 CPU] 4/4 (100%) 0
Test 13 [Hammer test] 4/4 (100%) 0

As you can see they are all in the 'random number sequence'. Should I run the test again abut remove the latest 2 sticks of RAM? Or can you see from the results that they are broke?

Thanks
 
I'm going to assume you have a mainstream system with 4 ram slots.
What I have found is that the memory speed on 2 sticks of RAM will work on mainstream systems. As soon as you put 4 sticks in and try running at the same speed you could have problems. Are you sure all 4 sticks are exactly the same speed and CAS value ?. Things to try.
1. Take the new memory out run the test on the known good memory. That's your baseline.
2. If OK take the good memory out and put the new memory in the same dimm slots. Test.
If you get errors its the memory RMA it.
3. If there are no errors. Move to different slots and test. If you get errors here it could be the motherboard. If you get no errors it might be that your system cannot run the memory at the speed on the box and you will have to drop the speed down in increments. Good luck. I would also update your motherboard bios with the latest version using your know good ram.
