Question RAM damaged again.. what is causing it ?

[ragez0r]

Hello my name is christopher a french canadian that moved to the philippines it is no secret that philippines has static issues and their power lines so to counter that i've been using a ups for the past 3 months however today my computer started crying and telling me that the ram is damaged again could it be a broken motherboard for a crappy psu ???. Running memtest now....4th pass...

Last time my PC **** [Moderator edit to to remove gender offensive reference.] **** bad ram, It was using a faulty avr (automatic voltage regulator...) but recently I plugged my tower straight to a Chinese dc to ac inverter.. I hope that didn't pump a surge into my PC.. I thought inverters were safe... no biggie, I ordered 16gb.. it should arrive within 5-7 days..., I just want to know what is causing this to not repeat itself...

The PSU is a Filipinoe brand name YGT 750
Apu is amd 7680... Mobo.. no idea tbh.. current ram is brandless.
But I ordered Kingston to replace the 2 dimms I've got

I agree... I don't need anything over 500 watts and not to be disrespectful to the great ppl of the Philippines, but they can't quite build a good psu, not yet.... I'll stick with my favourite brand.. antec...

If you have dirty power coming in the best PSU in the world won't save you. Look in to a line conditioner or high quality UPS. (You do also need a better quality PSU, but if the power at the wall is an issue, that's not enough on its own.)

oh.. did not know.. i thought any static in the power would stop inside any battery inside the ups.....and additionally.. the ups has an avr.. im assuming you kow what that is already
