Hi there, first of all let me clarify I'm an animator with above-average knowledge of computers but never an expert. I've had a few power problems in my house which have led to damaged components in my PC. I ran Mem Test to check my memory and it showed one of the modules was bad. I took the PC to the shop for maintenance and the guy told me those tests weren't accurate and they marked good memory as bad. Flash forward to today, working in After Effects I have to close the animation program and reopen it after one hour or so because it stops performing the RAM preview. Also it's been lagging more and more after simple tasks like moving the playhead in the timeline -it's not a complex animation, it shouldn't lag like that-. This got me doubting about the health of my memory so I ran the windows test which also showed a memory problem. My question goes in two parts, one is, is there a way to single out bad memory modules beside Mem Test? and the other, given the pickiness of motherboards on mixing RAM modules, what should I bear in mind when replacing the bad modules and adding new ones to my current set up? My intention is to replace -hopefuly- one bad module and fill my last two empty slots.
My MB is Asus X-99 Deluxe with 6x 8GB modules. They're all Crucial, not all same frequency. I ran the Asus auto overclocking program and it applied an XMP profile to all my modules in the BIOS.
That profile is: DDR4 2400mhz 16-16-16-39-1.2v
Sorry for the long post. It was longer, I edited trying to be as concise as possible. Thanks for any help on this.
