Memtest RAM results

[oahbpn]

Hi,

 

I got a blue screen of death the other day and decided to perform a RAM diagnosis. The number of errors are alarming. Currently, there are two (2) 4 Gb sticks installed. Should I buy new RAMs? Thanks.

I wouldn't start looking into purchasing new dims before clearing the CMOS, and cleaning the memory contacts with DeoxIT. It also doesn't hurt to reseat the memory as well.

start with a CMOS reset, if that dosent do it, remove the dimms and clean them, if that dosent do it then yah that RAM is broken

Thanks for the reply. I'll clear/reset the CMOS and re-seat the RAMs.

Is that a brand name of cleaner by any chance?  Should just be a high content isoprophyl alcohol shouldn't it? that's always been good enough for most electronics I clean anyway.

reseating the CPU can also sometimes help. But that looks bad yo.

After resetting the CMOS, there are less errors, but still an abundant amount. Please see below.

Thanks for the suggestion, Majestic. I'll re-seat the CPU another day.

yah reseating the CPU might help too, so you could try that. im going to say that your RAM is probably goodbye though

try removing one of the ram to see if its just one of them that is bad..

 

this happened to my 16gb kit (2x8) 3 months ago

 

only one was faulty and i removed it

Thanks. Purchasing new memory sticks resolved the issue.
