I received errors after running the Memtest and exited it after seeing them. How do I pull up the results?
I received errors after running the Memtest and exited it after seeing them. How do I pull up the results?
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.
The entire procedure will/may take a time, but will guide to the perfect way. Let us know the results so that we can assist you to the next step.
