So my friend was having random restarts when he was playing games (especially demanding games like total war warhammer 2) so i thought why not do a ram test using memtestx86
and when i did, we got these error messages..
i'm a bit confused however, these are ram generated errors or cpu? because it says cpu at the end and i have never used memtest before

How many sticks of ram are you running? I had a PC one time with 4 sticks of ram and after it got a couple of years old It started getting errors. I ran Memtest and it showed errors but each stick checked good. Found it would pass ok with 3 sticks but not 4. Had to raise my DDR3 voltage to 1.6 volts to run with 4 sticks without errors. Are you sure the new ram is compatible?
