Started with no reason.. week before i updated graphics card driver. When i ran Memtest86, its shows lots of errors. Is it RAM false and why it started? Thanks to all before!
Now follow the "Part 3: If You Have Errors:" of How to Test and Diagnose RAM Issues with Memtest86+
Errors/red lines means one or more RAM is faulty. But the fault may occur due to a faulty DIMM slot, too, which is a motherboard component. Using memtest86+, you can discriminate between a faulty RAM and a faulty motherboard.
How? Say you have two RAM sticks and two DIMM slots. You obtained errors at the test with all RAM sticks installed. Now, remove all the sticks but one. Test it in all the available slots, one by one. Continue the same procedure for all the available sticks.
How to make the inference that is it a RAM issue or it is a motherboard issue? Suppose you have got the result like that:
No code has to be inserted here.It is a RAM, a bad RAM.
But if you have got a result like that:
No code has to be inserted here.It is a motherboard issue. The particular slot is bad.
Why it started? Hardware fails, like anything else.
I have only one stick 4gb , I replaced it, but nothing changed. Hope there is no motherboard both slots fault :) Thank you very much, now i will buy new RAM and everything will be ok! Good luck, Archie!
I would highly recommend buying two sticks of ram in a matched pair.
Your motherboard has to ram slots. In order for your system to run dual channel you will need both slots filled.
