Memtest86 not detecting errors

[hcastro]

Hi, I had some freezing issues lately and thinking It could be RAM fault I scanned my computer using memtest86 and found some errors. I scanned again and also had errors.

But some days later, before I tested every memory stick separatedly, I decided to run a full test that, yo my surprise showed no errors. I decided to try again for a whole weekend and also no errors were found.

Does anybody know if that means It's not a hardware problem? Or if It could be a problem from another part of the computer? Or It's simply magic?

I asked a friend who told me It could be a motherboard issue, how could i check that?

So the memory using both sticks have errors and testing with one stick at a time no errors.
Then you have a bad set of memory.
You could try increasing the memory voltage by 0.05 volts.

No, both tests were done using two sticks, I didn't remove any.

In fact, the only thing I did was opening the PC box (it has a door) to take a look at how the memory was installed, but didn't touch anything.

I still have to check if It keeps freezing, though.

If It keeps freezing I'll definetly try increasing the voltage.

Thanks!

I would also run a health check on your drive both WD and Seagate have free software to test with.
