  • Failure always in the same bit!

    Hi! Windows was working fine after finishing my first PC build (which I finished yesterday), until I got a blue crash screen with "MEMORY_MANAGEMENT" error.
    After running memtest86 a few times, I noticed that the failures are always in the same bit, with the value 4 as difference:

    - Expected: 10000000, Actual: 10000400
    - Expected: FF7FFFFF, Actual: FF7FFBFF
    - Expected: 00000002, Actual: 00000402

    What does this mean? Is it surely the RAM's fault? Should I return it?
