    USB become unrecognizable after 4 passed is done and restart into Window 10 ..

    2 times in a row but same thing happen .. after the test is done the USB stick become unrecognizable when i boot back in Windows 10 .. it didn't show up in windows explorer & "Safely remove Hardware & Eject Media" either. I had to delete & repartition using Minitool Partition Wizard to make it detect by Windows again. How so & whats the solution ??

    By the way i had 6 errors after 4 passed. Is the ram still usable or it's time to get a new one ??

    Thanks

    Maybe your flash drive (hardware) is bad? Try a different flash drive.

        That the range of memory addresses where the error(s) were encountered. As they are the same number (when rounded to the nearest MB) it means the fault is very localised.

            Some errors only happen in dual channel mode.
            Correct, RAM does not slow down.
            But nothing lasts forever.

              So the sticks still consider faulty even if they have errors only in dual channel mode ?? Thanks

                Could also be timing, voltage and BIOS firmware issues.

                  I already order 2 x 8GB Kingston DDR3 1600MHz so let's see how it play out once i have it install. Let's hope it pass the test without any error even in dual mode.

                    Done testing with my new 2 x 8GB DDR3 1600Mhz & it's error free, looks like ram did get "old" over time for whatever reason. So it's time to retire my 4GB ram. Thanks for your time. Have a nice everyday.
