[SOLVED] Memory diagnostic?

[danjw91]

What exactly does the memory diagnostic do?

FYI. As I've posted previously about BSOD, I phone a PC tech guy who is a family friend and he said most BSOD KMOD not handled blah blah will mainly be memory so test each ram stick on its own.. but the BSOD is random so could wait ages. I ran the memory diagnostic through windows and went to event viewer and both came back normal.

However, tonight I ran SFC scan now and it did say it repaired corrupt files etc.

Problem is, I've ran the memory diagnostic, I've ran heaven at full extreme on 1440p, ran cinebench I think it's called and got excellent results. I've ran stress test on 3dmark and got 98.5% pass rate. I've ran out of ideas.

My PSU voltage in my old mobo (replaced 2 weeks ago) and PSU was showing good voltage.

So would memory diagnostic actually say if a ram stick was faulty/bad/broke etc?

The BSOD hasn't happened tonight, but as said, it is random.

Run memtest86 free version. If you do not have at least 2-3 passes with zero errors you have a memory problem that can affect everything.

Will do that. Hopefully it does bring a error otherwise I'm out of ideas ha.

So I've ran 2 tests and they've came back without any errors.

So I am out of ideas. Could a faulty motherboard be the issue? I don't see how it could be faulty if I've ran stress test and it's passed, heaven and cinebench, mem86, userbench, diagnostic tests. Out of ideas.

How did the storage test out? Both diagnostic and SMART values. Easiest was is to get the device manufacturer diagnostic program and run under Windows.

Storage test? Is this for the hard drives and SSD? I've not done tests for them.

Yes. WD and Seagate have WD Data Lifequard and Seatools for Windows for HDDs and most of the SSD makers also have tools that you can download from the product support page.

Right ok, well I've done the windows scan of them where right click, properties and tools then scan them and all came back with 0 errors. Is that realiable enough? Sorry my head is just a bit mashed atm as I'm over thinking everything, what I've done and trying to think of other stuff to do but everything I know then googled etc I've done. Bar the hard drive but just done the windows option one as said above and no errors.

I use the better HDD tools for problems that are difficult to solve since they are made to look at that specific type drive and generally give a lot more information. Same with SSDs.

Ye running the seagate one atm, for some reason though my M2 SSD doesn't have option for the SMART check but the other 3 passed. Did do short generic on M2 and it passed.

Truly random BSODs are very difficult. I usually pull everything out and do a desk build (on a big cardboard sheet and run days of diagnostic over on every system, RMA anything suspect. It is very painful.

Ye I can go without one for a few days then get one, power on and it happens straight away then same again, had it 3 times in 5 mins like last week. My SFC picked up corrupt files but it is just very odd. The only thing new since changing to ATX is the mobo and case and since then I've got a lot of BSOD so could send motherboard back for replacement but then why pass stress tests, cinebench etc. The latest BSOD I just come off warzone and was uploading a clip then bang I got it.

I'll wait out since I've checked a lot of stuff and see if it happens again and if does then send motherboard back.

Also thanks for your help.
