    MemTest86 Result Interpretation

    A few months back I replaced my Mobo, CPU and Ram. I included all of my computer parts, not just those mentioned, into pcpartpicker to ensure compatibility. Ever since the build, I've been plagued with constant BSOD when attempting to play any steam games. Even just surfing the web or watching YT will inevitably lead to a BSOD. The majority of my BSOD are "Memory Management". I finally came across this program today and ran it with the following results. Is my RAM bad? These components are only 3-4 months old, if my RAM is bad, why did it fail so quickly? Click image for larger version

    Yes the RAM is bad. It was probably bad from day 1.

      So basically I just had bad luck and was sent a bad stick?

        Seems the mostly likely explanation.
