Hi there
I have a fault, which I am 99.99% sure it is but I want to check that it couldn't be something else before I RMA my stick of RAM.
Following on from my previous thread here.
I decided to unplug everything that wasn't necessary from my pc leaving me just mobo, cpu, ssd and 1 stick of ram. PC booted fine and I have slowly plugged everything back in and all was fine until I came to add my ram. I put stick 1 in slot 1, ran for couple days, then stick 2 in slot 2, stick 3 in slot 3. All fine with no hint of a problem. I put my fourth stick of ram in and next boot was bsod, unplugged the the others and tried the one stick on its own in different slots on MoBo always bsod. Unplugged it and put the others bak in and pc is back to normal. My doubt about RMA'ing it is because running it on memtest is passes with no error's so a couple of questions -
How accurate is memtest at finding problems with ram?
Could it be anything else?
Thanks for help on this.
