who is the best tech guy on these forums???

I want some 1 on 1 time, to tell you some of my issues is anyone willing to try and handle my problem.. or give me some advice

My vote goes to H2SO4. Usasma too. I doubt you'll receive the kind of free personal attention from them however. H2SO4 hasn't been around in a little and Usasma seems very busy (which is compliment.)

I have a slight understanding of your machine and what's going on from your posts. Which specific questions would you like answered?

The reaosn why i ask is because i need someone to be there with me threw the steps so i dont have to keep re explaining my problem.. but i will start here


I had ran memtest as you saw in my last post in performance and maint.... anywayy


i ran test 1 when it tried to oc my ram to get it to recommended speeds.

as the first screen shot showed multiple errors

i then did it at stock speeds for a short test, 1 error came up

did it again at stock speeds longer test only 1 error came up and it was pointing to slot 3 or ram 3 so i ripped ram 3 out, and began to test then nothing came up

just to be sure it was ram 3, i ripped the other 2 rams and put ram 3 in the middle of the ram boards ( just to check if it was faulty) no errors, idk if i ran it long enough about 4 hours for 1 stick...

then i took a ram that i thought it was good and put it in slot 3 that told me it was bad.... no errors....


at this point im lost..... idk whether its the ram or the mobo at this point... my last thing im going to do when i go to sleep is, switch the ram order up... put ram 3 which i think is bad ram into slot 1 and then the other 2 sticks anywhere and run mem test over night again, if it comes back up with errors in the slot 3 again i guess im lead to believe its slot 3... if it comes up in another slot then it must be the ram... if it comes up with no errors at all this time... then i have no clue why... maybe the ram wasn't seated right.

I am just lost and im trying to get a professional opinion, im not worried about going to get something new and rmaing my old item later (if i even have the rma option anymore since its been over a month since i purchased the items.)

i know the ram has to be in the orange slots.

As we said, you should contact the company to see if they will offer you an RMA so they could replace the modules for free. As I said, show them the screenshots of the errors the test finds and let them respond on what they'd like to do. Or for possible help they may have.

I am going to do that, but i am also going to go buy that same product over again, whether its mobo or ram, thats what im really trying to determine. if its mobo i bought it in house if its ram its over the net...

Did you ever check at the motherboard's website to see if the ram that you have is compatible with it?

yes cause alot of people have this combination.

Yeh that sounds like the RAM is botched. That's easy to isolate if you have another board.
