I took a risk and brought another set of second hand ram sticks, this time they are: BLT8G3D1608DT1TX0 I don't know if they are older than the BLS8G3D1609DS1S00 or not, but I have put both BLT8G3D1608DT1TX0 sticks in separately and ran the Windows Memory Diagnostic, they both pass, I then put...

I brought a stick of second hand ram and fitted it into an old pc but when I try to run the Windows Memory Diagnostic scan I am getting a 'hardware problems detected' message. The ram stick is an 8GB Crucial Ballistix with the model number: BLS8G3D1609DS1S00 I believe that this ram stick would...

When I say the results don't show up I mean they don't show up in the Windows Event Viewer, if I search for it all I find is the Memory Diagnostics schedule which says the time it started.

I had a similar problem with my PC a year or two ago, turned out to be the supply. It took a while to diagnose, at first it appeared a Windows update had caused it. What I do now is keep an old hard drive with a fresh install of windows which doesn't have any updates installed, then if anything...

Here is the original 8GB ram stick that came with the AC120NA. Up until yesterday the Windows Memory Diagnostic results were showing up when the test was ran in that laptop. Yesterday I decided to remove that stick and individually install the other 8GB ram sticks that I purchased for the...
