G.skill ram in new z97x build barfs up errors in memtest86+ v5.01
Hello!
Right now, I'm starting to have some major ram issues when I'm currently using a z97 build, which my specs are included in my profile. What happen was I was having problem installing some programs. I google around and the forums and I thought it could be the ram. So, I popped in memtest86+ v5.01 and at 30 mins, it reported errors. I was right all along. How could this be happening? Right now, I'm retesting it I all 4 rams and it barfed up more than that, approximately 6912. Looking at it, these errors are spreading like cancer.
I'm about to use one ram stick at a time, but to be honest, I've never done this before since this is the first time I've ever had this problem. I heard some bad stories of ESD and frying ram and mobo while doing the procedure and I'm feeling nervous. Though I'd figure I need you guys to figure why this is happening other than the obvious faulty ram.
At bios, the ram was settled at xmp profile 1 at 1600mhz at 1.5v, while the other settings are at auto. Got any suggestions and precautions on how I doing this procedure? Thanks! :)
