Faulty memory stick - any possible fix before replacing it ?

[glinski]

Hello,

My PC keeps restarting, after testing it with other memory ram stick the problem was fixed.

Great, I have a faulty memory ram.

But is there anything to do to try to fix it before buying a new one ?

I already did the obvious things like cleaning the slot/trying different slot, etc... No change in overclock/latency, etc....

Just want to make sure I did everything possible before buying a new one. Any ideas ?

Thank you!

If you've run through all of the testing and cleaning: memtest, compressed air to the slot and stick, moving the single sticks around to make sure its not a particular slot, etc etc then replacing is the solution.

30 seconds in the microwave will charge it enough for a reset. But seriously, the problem is more likely some minor electrical issue that you may be able to fix if you had an electircal engineer for a neighbour, but for the average techie, that is a bit out of our scope.
