Today I ran Memtest86, out of pure curiosity. During the 7th test 4 errors appeared. I just ran 1 pass because I didn’t have time to let that thing run during 8 hours to complete 8 passes. I took the picture before the first pass ended but I let it finish and no other errors appeared.
Error screeshot
It’s a Corsair Vengance RGB PRO DDR4, 3200MHz, 16GB (2x 8GB), CL16, XMP, 1.35V. With the XMP profile enabled. I Built this computer in October last year 2019, this kit is basically new.
My PC is fine, no BSOD’s, or stability issues, everything runs ok. I was just playing Warframe, the game crashed again today, which is weird. I googled it and amongst other things, this «Ram Test» kept showing up, it seems to be a very common advice. I did it and found this. If I hadn’t run the test I would be using my PC normally because is not giving me any problems.
Do I really need to send my RAM for replacement?. Is my RAM dying or defective?, is this really bad?. I wouldn’t want to send it for replacement because it could take weeks and I need this PC to work, besides I don’t know if Corsair will recognize this as a faulty product and accept my request. What do these 4 errors mean?.
My PC:
Motherboard: Aorus B450 pro wifi
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2600x
GPU: Nvidia RTX 2060 Super
PSU: Seasonic Focus+ Gold 650w
CASE: Cooler Master H500, 2x 200mm intake fans on the front, 1x 120mm Exhaust on the back, 2x 140mm Corsair Exhaust fans on the top.
All connected to a 900va UPS.
Thank you!.

Hi.This is the 3rd time I’ve gotten this BSoD. The only pattern I’ve noticed is that it happens during Idle states. I’ve ran Memtest86, after 4/4 passes it shows no errors. I’m not entirely sure but this started to happen since I updated Windows 10 to the 1909 version. My ram kit is a Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 3200Mhz. On a Aorus B450 pro wifi and Ryzen 5 2600x.
I disabled the XMP profile that had my ram running at 3200hz because a game called Warframe was constantly crashing. And memtest86 showed 4 errors during test 7. I disabled XMP and Warframe no longer crashes and memtest86 shows no errors.
My motherboard bios is not up to date, I’m like 7 updates behind but I don’t want to mess up with my that unless it’s strictly necessary.
Windows 10 is up to date
GPU Drivers are up to date. RTX 2060 Super.What’s going on?, ram seems to be ok, what could be causing this BSoD?.
Thank you!.

Maybe the current BSoDs aren’t related to your memory. Maybe, for whatever reason, it’s the 1909 version of Windows 10 that’s causing them.

It sounds like the Warframe issue maybe was related to your memory running XMP, for whatever reason. Is your specific memory on your motherboards QVL for Pinnacle Ridge CPUs? If it is, then you might consider an RMA. On the other hand, if you don’t care about running XMP and don’t want to wait for the replacement kit, then just run it at the speed that it’s currently running at.
Also, as you can probably guess, I’m an advocate of using the latest and greatest BIOS for my motherboard. I’m not 100% convinced the description for different BIOS’ always reflects all of the changes that went into it.

go to bios and disable XMP profile, run memtest again
if u still get errors with XMP disabled, then RAM is deffective
if u get no errors, then it means u cant use XMP profile , RAM overclock will need to be done manually (if needed)

If no errors, then leave at that.
If still errors, then reduce further — to 2666mhz and retest.

EDIT: I found the QVL list and my memory is not there. They just list 3 corsair kits, is that definitive?. In case you are wondering I bought this memory because PC Part picker didn’t warned me of any compatibility issues.
I mean the list says that due to the big number of memory kits out there they can just test a handful of them. So they just grabbed one 16gb kit, tested it and call it a day?. «Yup, good luck dear consumer, we hope the memory kit you buy doesn’t give any issues because we just tested one».

As I stated, I’m guessing the BOIS’ ‘description’ isn’t always 100% accurate, so a later BIOS version may fix help your XMP situation.Did you get a chance to look at the «Frequent blue screen for Windows 10 1909» link I posted above?
Hi, yes I checked out that tread and it went unsolved. It talks about HDD issues or GPU driver issues, nothing solid though.
Well I guess I’ll have to update my BIOS. I hope that doesn’t make my problem worse, actually I haven’t got any BSoD since Tuesday.

Всем привет, в общем проблема в названии. Неделю назад обновил компьютер, купил новую оперативную память и вот на днях хотел идти уже за второй плажкой.
Комп:
Проц Intel Core i5-8400 @ 2.80GHz
Мать Gigabyte B360M H
Память CRUCIAL CT8G4DFS8266 DDR4 8GB
БП FSP PNR 500W [ATX-500PNR]
Сначала начну с того, почему я решил вообще сделать этот тест. Купил я оперативку на ддр4 в прошлый четверг (была до этого ддр3) на 8гб, проц, мать и по мелочи еще (куллера и тд). После сборки сел поиграть в ассасина последнего, и получил вылеты игры. Причем вылет может быть после часа-двух, а бывает после 15 минут игры. Вылеты продолжались с четверга по сей день, но особо я этому не придавал значение, т.к. вин 10 стоит мб уже больше 3-ех лет, многие драйвера могли быть несовместимы и т.д. Но сегодня у меня случился совсем редкий случай, синий экран. До этого он у меня был всего 1 раз на моей памяти, а тут и недели не прошло с момента обновления компа и даже после этого, я не сразу подумал на оперативку, т.к. в ошибки было сказано что-то про «хард драйв». но посмотрев дамп с помощью BlueScreenViewer и почитав в инете инфу насчет этого, я понял, что проблема может быть и также в оперативке. Прикреплю скрин, мб что-то там разглядите.
В общем скачал я Memtest, и на 3 прогоне всех тестов оперативка запоролась на 7 тесте, было обнаружено 8 ошибок, также прикреплю скрины
Что примечательно, после этого я сделал еще 4 прогона именно теста номер 7 по два раза, т.е. 8 тестов в общем и ни разу не показало ошибку
ПС. Также, стоит отметить, что после ошибок по советам обновил биос, но сомневаюсь, что в перетестах не показало ошибок именно из-за обновлений, т.к. прошлый биос был не такой старый, от августа 18 года

Самым надежным вариантом тестирования оперативной памяти является программа Memtest.
Нам необходимо записать утилиту Memtest86 на DVD диск либо флешку или создать загрузочную флешку, в состав которой входит данная программа. Читаем статью «Как создать мультизагрузочную флешку«, следуем пошаговой инструкции. После того как создана загрузочная флешка производим загрузку с неё, обычно для этого я использую «горячие клавиши» F8, F12, F11, Esc+клавиша отвечающая за быструю загрузку, в зависимости от модели мат. платы на компьютере/ноутбуке. После загрузки видим окно:

Заходим в дополнительные утилиты и выбираем Memtest86. Если все прошло успешно видим такую картинку:

После запуска программа будет проверять вашу оперативную память бесконечно, пока вы её не остановите клавишей ESC. Проверять можно как все модули памяти сразу, так и по одной. Проверяя все модули памяти, программа не скажет на какой именно ошибки, так что если есть ошибки, проверяйте лучше по одному модулю. Для проверки лучше сделать несколько циклов. А для максимального эффекта, лучше поставить проверку на ночь . Поле Pass означает количество проделанных циклов. Если у вас будут ошибки в памяти (колонка Error), вы увидите следующее:

Исправить оперативную память при наличии ошибок в программе невозможно. Это не как в жестком диске затереть битые сектора. Я рекомендую вот что:
Самое распространённое — это выход из строя модуля оперативной памяти. Тестируем по одному модулю. Сначала этот модуль ставим в слот под оперативную память №1.

Тестируем,смотрим результат. Если ошибки есть как показано на рис. выше (там где выделено красным в программе Memtest), то ставим этот модуль слот под оперативную память №2. Тестируем,смотрим результат. Если ничего не изменилось,то модуль неисправен и подлежит замене. Меняем или ставим другой модуль памяти,тестируем. Если модуль памяти исправен,по окончанию теста в видим следующее:
Бывает что неисправен слот для оперативной памяти на мат. плате. В этом случае подключаем модуль в другой свободный слот, далее рассматриваем целесообразность работы компьютера в данной конфигурации с неисправным слотом под оперативную память, целесообразность замены материнской платы, а может вас и так всё устроит, и объёма памяти вам будет достаточно.
В программе — 9 тестов:
Test 0 — [Address test, walking ones, no cache] – тестирования для выяснения проблем в адресе памяти.
Test 1 — [Addresstest, ownaddress] – глубокий тест для выявления ошибок в адресационной прописки памяти
Test 2 — [Movinginversions, ones&zeros] – проверка на трудноуловимые и аппаратные ошибки.
Test 3 — [Movinginversions, 8 bitpat] – как и предыдущий тест, только в нем используется алгоритм в 8ми битном подходе от 0 до 1. Тестируется 20 различных методов.
Test 4 — [Moving inversions, random pattern] – Выявление ошибок связанных с data sensitive. В этом тесте 60 различных методов.
Test 5 — [Block move, 64 moves] – Поиск проблем в схемах оперативной памяти.
Test 6 — [Moving inversions, 32 bit pat] – Самый долгий тест для выявления data sensitive errors.
Test 7 — [Randomnumbersequence] – Проверка ошибок в записи памяти.
Test 8 — [Modulo 20, ones&zeros] – Выявление скрытых ошибок в оперативной памяти с помощью буферизации и кеша.
Test 9 — [Bit fade test, 90 min, 2 patterns] – Тест может быть включен вручную. Он записывает адреса в памяти, после чего уходит в сон на 1.5 часа. После выхода из сна, сверяет биты в адресах, на схожесть. Клавишей C для ручного запуска. Тест требует около 3х часов времени.
Теперь вы увидели как проводится тестирование оперативной памяти, как восстановить её работоспособность самостоятельно и проверить с помощью программы Memtest86 с приведенной инструкцией.

I just built a new desktop,
Phenom II x6 1090T
ASUS M4A87TD/USB3 mobo, BIOS 2001
8GB (2x4GB) Corsair Vengeance RAM (CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9B)
600W Coolermaster PSU
Other stuff (60GB OCZ SSD with Win 7 Ultimate, 1 TB WD HHD) <— these aren’t plugged in atm
It was working for a few days, then started randomly BSODing while watching a movie or sitting there idle. Windows memory test or whatever it’s called doesn’t detect any errors, but memtest86 does.
I’ve tested both sticks together, individually, and in all of the slots individually. They all fail test 7, giving me thousands of errors. I have also tried setting everything on AUTO in BIOS, manual (upped the voltages, put in the stock timings, etc) and everything is still the same.
The interesting thing is when I burned memtest 86, it came with v3.5 also, and I can choose to run that and it doesn’t give any errors. I read somewhere that they changed it such that v4.0 uses all the cores, and that going from a single to a dual will increase the stress by a significant amount.
^^The last sentence I think I misread and it was changed for use with multiple processors, not cores.
Is there a possibility that the settings are causing instability, or are both my RAMs just bad? Any recommended settings to test?
I’m going to get my friends’ desktop tonight and run memtest with his mobo/my RAM and his RAM/my mobo to see if I can find anything.
Thanks in advance.

I personally use Memtest86+ which was a branch off from the original and has had more frequent updates and fixes. You can download Memtest86+ v4.2 at www.memtest.org and give that a try to see if it has similar results. As always it is suggested to start testing at stock settings and then change accordingly.
