I have a laptop that sometimes when the power button is pressed just displays a black screen and the fan just spins. It wont even get to the BIOS logo.
I used memtest86 v4.20 and at nearly 50% i got 4 - 5 thousand errors so i assumed one of the two DDR3 ram modules was faulty so I then went to test the individually.
My problem is no i can get memtest to show any errors no matter what module in what socket.
I testes them together again and again no errors.
I have yet to reset the BIOS but before i do i am going to run 10 passes on each stick.
Does this sound similar to anyone ?
Anyone got any ideas as to why this is happening ?
