Alec Mowat - why trying to fix something, when he said he's...

i ran memtest86+ and getting 1000000+ errors in 1 pass and if i try it idividually with 1 stick it give me 50000+ errors so which ram is the murderer of my pc i want to throw it away like garbage if u want the screenshot i can also provide that thanks

sam002fc - leave one stick, run memtest, You get errors throw it to garbage. Try second ram, if it get errors, throw it away either. Get new ram modules. You can have no errors, in order to run normally. If You get errors at all ram modules You hit Your motherboard with [try at least 3 different new ones], it means Your motherboard, chipset/cpu is failing.


78 it was too hot. Reseat the heatsink and get new thermal paste, make sure the case is well ventilated. 60 is optimal, I wouldn't go higher than 75 unless absolutely necessary for short periods of time.
