Question Memtest

[Jureee]

Hello

I took Memtest and came across several errors.

What do these errors mean that one RAM stick is broken?

Should I do a test for each rod of each RAM and then replace the one that shows errors?

Is any other solution possible?


I have - Ripjaws G skill DDR 4- 3600 16gb x 2

Sorry for bad quality of picture.


Thanx for the help.

Test each stick, individually, in each slot.
The number of allowable errors is 0.

 

[Jureee]

I will try individually, in each slot .

what to do with the stick with errors ? I must get new one or is there some other solution ?

This could also be memory controller related.
What voltage are you running your RAM at?

The error means that, at the current speed, timings, and voltage, that memory is not fully stable in your system.
Something as simple as a slight voltage increase may fix it.

Test first.

But give us some info on what RAM is involved, and what motherboard.

i don t know if i look corectly ?

In Bios DRam 1.200 V ?

Or where in Bios i can see voltage ? I have ROG Strix B550 - F

it s problem RAM ? Or GPU and CPU not going well together or motherboard ?

Test and let us know the results.
A RAM stick, or a motherboard slot are the likely issues.

But no way to know until you actually test. Each stick, in each slot, individually.

Ok thanx.

how many voltage ?

what about lovering mhz from 3600 to 3400 ? will help ?

Those sticks are supported by GSkill up to 1.35v. If it's currently at 1.2v that may be your issue.
See if you can pass a full Memtest86 at 1.25v. If that doesn't work try 1.3v.

Yes, lowering the speed to 3400MHz may also help.

First i try memtest with 3400 and in first 20 minutes i get error this one have at the end CPU 2.

than i rise up voltage of ram from 1.35v to 1.40v i get in fist 10 minutes 36 error cpu 1 cpu 2 cpu3... cpu 8.


Now i turn everything back to normal in bios and i take one ram stick out. i will try now one by one with memtest.

I made tests - Each stick, in each slot, individually.

1 ram stick

2 ram stick

Can I save second Ram stick which is FAIL or is it best to buy a new one.

Could this be the reason for all these blue screens of death?

Thanks

Did you test each stick in the same slot and the first one passed but the second one failed?

Yes i think i test both sticks in slot no 2.

It sounds like your second stick is bad.

It is posiblle i get all this crashes ( blue screen of death ) because of this bad RAM stick ?

So best solution to buy new RAM ?

Definitely possible that your crashes are being caused by bad RAM.

So best solution to buy new RAM ?

Run your computer with just the one good stick of RAM for a while to see if the crashes are gone.

Ok.
