Hi, i have a machine with 2 x 4GB ddr3 ram.
Recently been BSOD every now and then so ran a scan using memtest86
With both sticks in every test it done it was counting errors (not just ever now and then but i mean going up by the hundreds at a time)
So pulled one stick out and tested just the one stick in the first slot.
Passed. So i thought, ok well its the second stick.
So to confirm i Put the second stick into the first slot and removed the first stick.
Redone test and the test passed ???
Ok so the last solution could be that the second slot is bad.
So put the module that failed the first test into the second slot and got an error count of 1 at 55%.
I really dont know what is wrong here. a temperamental slot or faulty stick ?
Luckily i have 2 spare slots right next to it so i might transfer both over and then keep a memtest running overnight.
