Hello, I have been looking through the forums for fixes to my issue and have tried what i could find: running Memtest86 to check for errors in ram. The issue i am having is that my comp will randomly crash to Blue Screen physical dump of memory, even when im just at the desktop. this is my second build, the first being over 8 years ago. I admit i am fairly amateur.
First off, components:
RAM: Patriot Viper 3 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866 (PC3 15000) Desktop Memory Model PV316G186C0KBL

Memtest86 tests preformed:
Test 1: 1 each ram in slot a_2 and b_2 (as per mobo manual)
ram had over 230 errors

Test 2: 1 ram in slot a_2, No errors.
Test 3: swapped second ram into slot a_2, no errors
Test 4: swapped both ram into slots a_1 and b_1, no errors.
I do not know what the difference is in having ram in slots a_1/b_1 rather than what the manual said to have them in a_2/b_2. I also do not know why i got so many errors with the ram in the 2 slots and no errors individually and no errors in the 1 slots.
