  • Verifying that my issue is with my memory and not with my processor

    Good afternoon:

    I have seen that many people have received help with their test results from MemTest and I was hoping to have some help too from those that are more knowledgeable. I have completed a memtest today after receiving many BSOD's over the last several months. These happen at different times, and my stop codes are always different. I have done some software changes that were supposed to help, but to no avail. I saw that I should run a stress test and a mem test while researching today. The MemTest86 gave me plenty of errors. Below is my information.

    I believe that this confirms that my memory is bad and not my CPU, but I wanted to be sure. Can anyone help me out? I can afford to replace one or the other. I would love to not make an error in judgement. Thank you for your time and help in reading this.

    Have a great day.

    Steve
