Hello,
about 2 moths ago I changed my RAM from 8GB (2x4GB) to 16GB (2x8GB) - Kingston KVR16S11/8GB DDR3 1600MHz CL11... it was working smooth until yesterday, when I've got BSOD (don't know what causin' it because I was not around my laptop and when I came back there it was waiting for me - I didn't run any task which could be mentioned here, also).
I saw there something about memory so first thing what I did was, that I launched Windows Memory Diagnostic (standard) and I've got error saying that I should contact manufacturer. Windows started normally, and nothing' seemed to be problem. Than I run few times WMD again and finally there was no error,
so I tried MemTest86 (which took 11 hours) but I tried both 2 RAMs at the same time and there were 7 errors (link).
After that I was reinstalling one of a driver (USB3.0 eXtensible Host Controller Driver) which looked bad and while it was reinstalling there was BSOD again, but now I couldn't access Windows againd and also Safe Mode which was very weird. So I launched Windows Recovery and it succesfully repairded problem which was preventing Windows from start.
After that I run WDM (standard) again and there was no error found.
Finally, here is .zip from DM Log Collector (link).
I, think I should run MemTest86 again but separately - one RAM at a time, but I will do it at night (but when I was getting BSOD at starting Windows second time I tried these RAMs - one at a time - and BSOD appeared always until I launched Windows Recovery).
Thanks for your advice, but I have "bad" feeling that eventually I will have to fill a request for RMA.
PS.: I've run AdwCleaner, Malwarebytes, SpyBot, TDSSKiller
//EDIT: I've just tried again to reinstall that USB3.0 driver and again I get BSOD, so I tried it in Safe Mode and there it worked. I will check those RAMs at night eventually and post here about result.
//EDIT2 (Reply to Tews): Yes, I wrote that before
so at night I run test again using only 1 stick at a time and result is one is alright (link), but other one is bad (link)... it was done in one slot, but it looks that slot is OK, anyway I will do test again in different slot for definite result
//EDIT3: All right, so it's definite, one RAM is ok, the other one is bad (now even with more errors). I am going to write request for RMA. // Request for RMA Sent // Waiting for reply
