I will try and keep this simple.
I am using 4x 4gb ballistix sport 1600 ram
I was having lots of memory related problems (freezing, blue screens of death)
I took all the sticks out and used them one at a time (normal usage not memtest)
The last stick i tried gave me bad boots and memory related...
Memtest 86 has changed drastically since the last time I needed to use it.
I am running Win 7 32 bit and it is slower than you can believe and it is a new install with all the updates.
I wanted to run Memtest 86 to see if it was the memory causing the problem. I believe I have checked...
Bought some used SODIMM sticks and the memtest has come up with just one error line as in pic after 8 passes.
Now I have read the info on interpreting the stuff but am no wiser as to what thus error line is about or whether the stick I put in is crap. (came wrapped in foil!!)
I have...
Sorry for the basic question: When people suggest doing 5 passes in memtest, what exactly is 5 passes? Does that mean running memtest 5 times, each time until the pass figure reaches 100%?
