[SOLVED] memtest86 errors, what do they mean?

[sobchak]

Greetings,
lately I have been getting bluescreens with "whea uncorrectable error", so after searching on internet to see what causing the issue, i ran memtest86 today and got this result:

Clearly there are some issues with memory but it showing i have errors in CPU too. Does this mean i have i defected processor or the error is because of the ram?

Thanks

the only error count you want in Memtest is o so that stick needs to be removed/replaced

It might fix the whea errors

CPU is where memory controller is, report shows the errors happened in memory tests, not CPU ones.
Test 0, 1 & 10 are CPU related tests.
You failed test 7

I would use the classic memtest where you boot it live from media versus running it under windows. If you still have errors there, then you've got hardware issues for sure.

Isn't that report from memtest86?
I thought that was the bootable version... i know there are 4 or so but 1 is possibly malware

How To - How to Test your RAM

How to Test Your RAM Before testing your RAM, you need to know what type of firmware is on your PC. Either Legacy BIOS which is usually on pre-2012 PCs or UEFI which is usually on newer PCs. You can find this information in your motherboard manual. Or, run msinfo32.exe and look for BIOS...

Might be, but I know the new one costs money for the bootable one and the classic one still works fine. I just tested 2x module earlier this week and have tested 256GB before using it too.

The PDF he attached says its from Passmark, I know they make the bootable version as it leads to website I normally suggest people use

"MemTest86 boots from a USB flash drive and tests the RAM in your computer for faults using a series of comprehensive algorithms and test patterns." - https://www.memtest86.com/

I have never needed to run it yet

Yeah, memtest has an interesting history as the development split and part of it was bought by passmark. I tend to stick to whatever version is on any of my other boot cds.
