Help!

[Burnedice25]

I’ve a,ready asked for help in an earlier topic, but the issue was not resolved so I’m trying again.

 

there’s a link to the earlier topic, give that a read (don’t worry, it’s short) and please help.

 

cheers

Run memtest86 from a bootable pen drive.

What will that do? I’ve already run a different RAM test and that one said I was fine

Don't do it if you don't want to then.

 

It tests memory, as name specifies. For many hours.

Anything else I can do as the test said it was fine

I don't think so. Change slots on the motherboard, use different ram slots.

I agree with memtest86. At least 4 passes minimum but better to run overnight - it will give you a clear answer if ram is faulty or not.

Like I’ve said before, I’ve already tested the ram and there’s nothing out of the ordinary. What else can I do?

Return the RAM or motherboard is faulty or RAM is incompatible.

With what software did you test your ram?

BIOS onboard RAM tester

Please run memest86 before RMA’ing either the board or ram.

 

memtest86 is much more thorough than the onboard windows/bios one. I recommend running it for 12h

It's strange because he asks for help, we tell him what needs to be done and he doesn't do it. Bizarre world we live in.

 

I don't think he knows what memtest86 is. Googling it takes like 1 minute.

Also, here's me trying to memtest 4500mhz ram, and LOTS of issues came up later later on during the test.
