When you test the RAM it's best to test each stick one at a time. If you've got 64MB you'll have either 2 sticks or 4. Shut down your PC, remove all the RAM sticks apart from one, re-boot to make sure the PC boots OK and then run the MemTest. When finished the MemTest software will either tell you the RAM stick is fine, or bad. Assume it's OK. Shut down the PC, remove the stick and then repeat - install the next stick, reboot to check everything works, then run the memtest on that new stick. Repeat till all RAM sticks have been given a clean bill of health. If you were to run all sticks at the same time (64GB) the test can run a long long time. Doing each stick individually saves time (maybe) but it's easier to highlight certain RAM sticks if say one out of 4 is bad. PC problems are normally a process of elimination, so by testing RAM you can be sure the problem is or is not RAM, so getting nearer to the actual problem. PS. Also check on your PCs heat in relation to the chip. You want the chip to be in the 40-70 degree range. Higher than 80 can cause some problems re stability. I use the free CoreTemp software, puts the temp, RAM usage and Load right in your lower right taskbar. |
