The answer is very simple, just get the cd/flash disk version of Memtest86 and run it.

anwarparvez18 - yes.

anwarparvez18 - yes.

memtest just showed me that problem detected("can not copy file between ... and ... accurately") within 3%

Any error in memtest means either bad ram modules, or bad motherboard. I'd go a simple trial and error way. Put one memory stick into one memory slot, and run memtest. And figure this way out bad slots/bad sticks.

i have only one 8GB ram in one slot....other slots are blank

So try the memory in all four slots, if it doesn't work anywhere, the memory is bad.
