I need some help with Memtest errors

Andy_pandy · 10 Jan 2013 at 20:30

I tested my Ram for on several times and sometimes I get no errors sometimes I do.

first I tested my memory for 1 hour and I got no errors. second time I got 8 errors in 9min. The third time, I tested it for 20 min and got no errors.

I have attached an image to this post, showing the error.

what does it mean?

You shouldn't get any errors at all,in any test,list your ram and mb and voltages

Im using mix match memory. In total I have 12GB of memory.
2X4GB = 8GB Corsair XMS Memory kit for dual channel systems, 1333MHz ,
2X2GB= 4GB Kingston DDR3 1333MHz i5 Memory Kit CL9

Motherboard: ASUS M5A97 R2.0

Default (stock) voltage

I just ran Memtest for another 40min and no errors...

That 3rd 20 min run wasn't long enough and may have shown errors too I suspect. Ideally you want multiple passes. I would also check each pair individually, shorter runtime to get multiple passes and can narrow down culprit quicker.

What timings and volts do you have set and what are the stick specs?
