Question BSOD and Hardware Problems Detected - Should I replace my RAM?

[KLynnB]

Question

Should I replace my RAM? If that answer to that is yes, what would you recommend for my rig?
Current RAM is 32 GB [16 GB x2] DDR4-3200 Memory Module - G.SKILL Trident Z .

Situation
Applications are throwing memory related error messages, AAA games crash, and I started getting the BSOD Stop Code: Memory Management. This morning, I ran the Windows Memory test and it found hardware problems.

Download memtest and boot to it then run it for several cycles. Might only be one bad stick or something else. You didn't state if you are overclocking or not?

I just saw the instructions on how to do memtest. I'll do that. I'm not overclocking.

I ran memtest and it failed due to too many errors.

In thinking about this, I think I need to pull one stick, test the remaining one, then repeat with the other one. I'm disabled and can't do this by myself but I do have a reliable computer guy. I'll have him come over next week and help me. I just hope it doesn't completely fail in the meantime. If it's just one stick, I get can by on one and replace the bad one. If it's both, then I'll want RAM from a different manufacturer, I think.

My computer guy came over today. We tested the RAM one at a time. One is OK, the other one failed the test immediately. I've contacted the manufacturer for a replace of the failed one and am running my PC on the good one in the meantime.

Thanks for the help!
