  • Memtest86 errors, need help with the meaning to find out which component is at fault!

    Hello,
    I'll give you a quick rundown of the things that I have been encountering that lead me to try out the memtest86
    • Crashes during games, at this current time as soon as I approach the loading in section of the game (GTA V) the computer monitors shut off and I'm required to do a manual restart/shut down. Everything inside the case has lights on etc.
    • I had this issue persist for quite a while now, around a year. At first, I thought it was my old GPU (Vega 56) but now since I acquired an RTX 2080 it's clear (hopefully) that It's not the GPU.
    • For GTA V testing, I tried swapping around the RAM sticks to 1 - 3, previously it was 2 - 4 and also putting a single ram stick at a time in each slot, still, the crash persisted at the same part. (Initially, my computer wouldn't boot the first time I replaced the position of the ram to 1 - 3, later on, I decided to try again and it worked out of nowhere.)
    • I haven't really messed around with the BIOS Ram settings, but I am aware that the AMP profile is disabled and most things are on AUTO.
    • I have updated the BIOS.
    • On my old graphics card, even when I was playing not that demanding games while watching something on my second screen I still received crashes, although they were less common because of the demand for the game.
    At this point I don't really know what it is anymore, here are my pc parts:

    PSU: Corsair CP-9020015-UK CX750 Builder Series ATX/EPS 80 Plus Bronze PSU
    MOBO: MSI B350 TOMAHAWK.
    SSD: Samsung - 860 Evo 1 TB 2.5".
    CPU Cooler: Deepcool GAMMAXX 400.
    GPU: MSI GeForce RTX 2080 8 GB GAMING TRIO.
    CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 1600 3.2GHz 6-Core.
    SSD: Samsung - 970 Evo 250GB M.2-2280.
    Case: Cooler Master MasterBox Lite 5 RGB.
    RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) 3000.

    I will be waiting for your response, need any advice I can get to figure out the issue of the crashes!

    Looks like the RAM is bad.

      Overnight I put the BIOS setting to this https://imgur.com/a/2av13qX and let it do a full test, surprisingly it came out with no errors on dual-channel 1-3.
      I tried the game that kept failing on the loading part and this time I got into the game, played it for 20 minutes before I had to go off, launched it a couple of hours later and the issue appeared again on the same exact spot, I could guess the errors would start to appear again also in memtest.

      I will be investing in new RAM to hopefully solve this.
