CrimsonTyphoon Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 (edited) Think I got a bad stick of RAM Ran memtest before for ~8 hours, no error. Running it again now. Can someone else chime in? Edited September 26, 2017 by CrimsonTyphoon Quote Link to comment
allanp81 Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 I've had bad ram pass memory checks when left for days but the problems went away the minute I removed the duff ram. Quote Link to comment
CrimsonTyphoon Posted September 27, 2017 Author Share Posted September 27, 2017 Memtest86 ran for 12+ hours and no fail. So far so good: Took the server apart and air blasted it, making sure there was no lingering dust. Took off both heat sinks, cleaned them too, and reapplied thermal paste (side note, both of my processors have a small hole in them in the corner? Never heard of that before). Also reseated all of the RAM. Fingers crossed. Lets see what happens Quote Link to comment
BobPhoenix Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 (edited) You might also try a newer version of Memtest. I got mine here (the free version not the paid): https://www.memtest86.com/ I also ran it for a week (22 passes) on 128GB. Not saying it would find anything either like allanp81 said. But even 12 hours is half the time I would normally run myself. For my 128GB that would have only been 3 passes. Edited September 27, 2017 by BobPhoenix Quote Link to comment
