Memory March B Test Fail

[shirleybutler]

Have a Dell computer that keeps crashing and blue screening. Did a Pre-Boot System Assessment (PSA+) and all tests passed except for Memory - March B Test failed. Gave me an error code of 2000-8009.

Sounds like a stick dying

Thankyou very much for that answer

Have you tried running Memtest on each stick individually, 4-5 passes should suffice

aaaarrrhhh sorry how do I do that? I just know how to run dell diagnostics

Memtest86 is a bootable program that will test your DRAM rather extensively. Can find it here, there's a free edition available on the page:
