Memtest has been stuck for 2 hours?

[Harryp22]

Hi guys, panicking here. I finally got memtest going and it ran and passed everything up to test 13 in 25 minutes.
However, for the last two hours it has been stuck on test 13 (hammering rows) at 16%. Overall the pass is at 91% and the test stuck at 16%.

I have corsair vengeance 8gb (2x4)

Are you testing your modules TOGETHER? Modules should be tested individually. There should be no problem with simply powering off the unit if you wish to end the test.

I was originally, I ended the test and tested each stick of 4gb ram seperatrly in the first slot and both got stuck 30 minutes each on the same place test 13@16% 🙁

That's been a common occurance lately it seems. I'm wondering if there isn't something going on with the code in the most recent version. Are you running the Memtest86 or Memtest86+ utility.

I'm looking into it, just in case. I'll get back to you on this. In the meantime, what was the reason you were running Memtest to begin with? Were you having some kind of issues, or just testing stability? Maybe try Memtest86+ and see if you have any similar errors or freezing.

thanks for answering, been a rough day with noone seeming to help in other threads. I built my own pc about 18 months ago and its been fine up until one week ago when playing csgo the monitors lost signal and the last second of sound looped. The only way to get out of it was to manually restart.
Since then it has happened about 6-7 more times, always while playing cs, never just usuing the pc in general. Ive checked all drivers, took the pc apart cleaned everything put it all back together and 2 days later it happened again 🙁
It all seems to be leaning towards a faulty graphics card, i have a Gigabyte AMD Radeon 7950 which was designed for overclocking but i havnt, I have all custom coolers and nothing goes above 54 degrees ever. So im lost, no warranty on the gpu either so i guess its just unfortunate.
I wanted to rule out absolutely everything before buying a new one as this was my dream pc and i saved a lot for it. Oh well. Thanks for your time.

Indications are, from the data I've found, that the new memtest86 version 6 has been causing ALL but about 15% of modules to fail test 13, the "hammer" test, as seen in the following article. I'd try testing them with a previous version or with Memtest86+, which is entirely separate from Memtest86. It's even two entirely different companies.

Try one of these versions:

Memtest86 v4.3.7 (Scroll down to the older version): http://www.memtest86.com/download.htm

Memtest86+: http://www.memtest.org/


If the memory is ok, which it probably is, I'd try doing a CLEAN install of the GPU drivers as outlined in the drivers section at the following article:
