  • Faulty RAM?

    Hi,

    I've been having problems with this computer for about two years now. I was never able to find the problem; I used three different GPU's and tested the CPU and RAM using multiple applications. Memtestx86 and such never showed any errors. My motherboard (Gigabyte GA-MA790XT-UD4P) has been returned to the manufacturer but it was found to not have any defects. Just now, I found out about BurnInTest and it shows me that my RAM might be broken.

    Is anyone able to tell me if this is real? I'd really like to know if it's real before I return it to OCZ.

    Thank you!

    My log is available here.

    EDIT: The problems I've been having are random crashes, such as when opening Firefox or playing games. I also experience alot of random artifacts and texture errors in a bunch of games. Ironically, my computer crashed while viewing my testlog; IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL.

    Yes, the RAM is very very likely to be bad. (there is a small chance it is motherboard, or CPU)
