Question Just did a Memtest and got 50 errors. What can i do?

[SteveBeast]

Hey guys,

System: i7 10700k, RTX 4070, 32 GB Ram, WIn 11 Home

Because my Screen has weird black Screen Errors all the time, I decided to do a Memtest86.
It says I have like 50 Errors but I dont know why. Can you help me out?

Here is the Memtest Log. The password is: eB5fQ8qZUM

max error count you want in memtest is 0. Any higher is too many.

I would suggest replacing the ram.

Did you check all sticks at same time or one at a time?

 

[SteveBeast]

Just downloaded the Memtest , extracted it to the USB Stick. Then booted it, and it did an automatic Scan which ran about 4 hours. So I guess it was both Sticks.
But I bought the 2 Sticks 2 years ago (Corsair Vengeance) Why would they be broken yet?

 

[geofelt]

Are the two stick part of the same kit?
If not, they are not matched and can cause errors.

Test just one stick at a time.
If each tests ok individually, try increasing the ram voltage a bit.

 

[SteveBeast]

Yes they are of the same kit.
Ok so i should run a Memtest on each stick individually?
But increasing the ram voltage can cause damage right? Is there a safe way , because I dont want to damage anything, and I have no clue how that works?
And what is the worst thing that could happen if I leave the RAM as it is now?

The corsair ram will have a lifetime warranty.
Contact them for a RMA.
Tell them about the 50 errors on memtest.

Any ram faster than stock is really overclocked ram made up of better binned chips.
Look at the voltage described on the sticks themselves.
If your motherboard allows setting ram specs, you could increase voltage from, say 1.35v to 1.37v.
Without much concern.

But, really your best bet is a rma.
You might be able to set up an exchange where you buy the replacement and get your card charge negated when you return the defective ram.

It would probably be advisable to get hands on one stick of known working condition and run it. Memory controller is in the CPU.

you get more of these:

Because my Screen has weird black Screen Errors all the time,.

Ram can go bad, it happens.

Most ram has a life time guarantee. If you have proof of purchase you can rma it to manufacturer and they will replace it. Show them a screenshot of memtest.

 

[SteveBeast]

Yeah bought it on Amazon 2 years ago. Lets hope I still can RMA it

Yeah can I also send the log? Because I didnt make a screenshot after memtest was finished.

 

[Colif]

Yes, log should be enough

Ok so 1 question: I got those weird black screen tearing issues in Games like Starfield and stuff.
And also black Mosaic Errors on the screen randomly when browsing.
So can it be something else or is it the RAM?
