My Late 2009 iMac has been having odd intermittent problems that have me confused. Random crashes, some kernel panics, lockups, etc. After system installs and HD checks I still have not figured it out.
OK, I am running Memtest 4.3.5 on my 2009 iMac and its about 4 hours into the test and I am trying to figure out what I am seeing. I am doing the Default test.
First, how many times does it go through the 10 tests before its done?
Second, do I have to run all the tests to get good data?
Attached is the picture of the screen at 4 hours and 21 minutes:
As you can see it has over 65000 errors and an error confidence value of 104. So what does this mean? Does this mean one of my memory modules is bad? I currently have 4 modules installed (I think 2 4gb and 2 2gb).
Also the machine is fairly hot, I am uncomfortable letting it run over 8 hours doing this. I understand that this is a sunday night, so I may not get a response, but i think I am going to quit it out at 6 - 8 hours or so. How long does the testing usually take on a Dual Core Machine like this?
Thanks
