Cant figure out if ram or motherboard is bad
I recently did a fresh install after installing 2 new hdds. Other parts are a year old and working. Computer would freeze after installing updates. I ran memtest with both sticks of ram in and got a error at test #8. I removed one stick, ran test again, no errors. Im now past test #8 on the second stick and no errors. Ram was fully pushed down and in the right spots (right spot for both installed and right spot for single)
Im kinda stumped now.
Motherboard Asus M5A97 R2.0
Ram Corsair Vengence 4gbx2
AMD FX6300
Sapphire 7850
I called Corsair they said they would replace even if it was not faulty, have not called asus yet.
Might be usefull, I have 4 ram slots, lets say a1b1 a2b2. I install both sticks on a1 and a2. I installed singles on a1. Thats what the manual suggests.
edit I also did try 2 sticks in b1 b2 and got errors.
