Is this a faulty RAM module? Need verification.
Hi, after recently building my new PC, many BSOD's started popping up. This happened usually while gaming, but also randomly. Many BSOD's including irql not less or equal, system service exception, page fault in nonpaged area. Games would also sometimes crash. After updating all drivers, it still happened. Rolled back some, still happened. So I decided to use 1 stick at a time, stick1 let me run for 6hrs plus before I booted and ran it through memtest86 v3.5a 5 times- 0 errors. Stick2, same slot, second test produced 26 errors in test 7, averaging 14 errors. I ran memtest v3.4 with stick2 twice, 0 errors, then again with memtest v3.5a and again, 26 errors found. Is stick2 defective hardware? And ultimately the cause of my frustrating BSOD's? Will rerun tests on both tonight. Any help would be greatly appreciated, kinda new to this stuff.
Edit: ok did stick2 again, came up with 26 yet again, then zoomed up to 57 later in the same test.
