How can i test RAM for errors?

Matpc

Hello

 

As the title says , how can i test my ram 100% or at least close to it to check for errors in the hardware

I´ve came across memtest86 and memtest86+ but idk if they´re worth

If not , how can i test my ram? I´ve also used windows diagnostic and it said no errors but people say that this is not very reliable

I wanted to test since i´ve been having some exception error codes in games (0xc000005 in BO2) a bit frequent i would say

Tested the cpu through intel stress test , ran aida too and without issues

GPU is fine i guess( no artifacts or anything, no windows crashes)

So which software tool/way is the best to check for ram hardware errors?

Thank you

MemTest64 is a good one, what are your specs? might be easier to tell through incompatibility if there's any

Quote or Tag people so they know that you've replied.

I have a tuf b360 gaming plus br, i5 9400f, gtx 1060 6gb , 500w psu and the ram is a crucial ballistix sport 1x8gb ddr4 2666mhz

Is this memtest64 the best option? There are so many that i´m lost

The only games that did not crash were far cry 3 and battlefield 3

Played both for 40hours total

BO2 crashed 4 times in 80hours

All of my other games crashed at least once or while setting graphical options(ac4)

I don´t know if this is just bad luck , i´ve wanted to be sure that my hardware is ok if possible

Thank you

I´ve already ran the windows one without any errors but can i trust this one? People say that it is not very realiable since i´m looking for another tool if it is really worth
