  • Help interpreting + why no report?

    Hi all,

    I just left my PC running 70+ hours testing my RAM, and when I exited (ESC) it just rebooted and did not let me save the report. What did I do wrong?

    At least I had a screen cap of the test. Can you guys help me read this? Is my RAM defective? I am testing it because I have a lot of ramdom BSODs while working. This is a new computer, less than 3 months usage, it's been BSODing since ever.

    Generally you don't need to keep testing after the first couple of errors. So there was no need to run it for 70 hours.

    The old V4 release of the software doesn't write reports.
    You need to use V7 for that.

    Anyway, the RAM errors indicate the RAM is bad.

      Hi David, sorry, I am new to this, that's why I left it running, I though it would eventually stop. Thank you for your reply. Are both sticks bad? How do I determine if both need to be replaced or only one (besides removing one and running tests)?

      Also, for how long should I run it to see if the mem is ok?

        See,
        https://www.memtest86.com/troubleshooting.htm

        V7 stops automatically after 4 passes (by default).
