Hi,
I've had this PC since 2012 and never had a problem.
I had 2 memory sticks same brand same speed (1333), 2gb each.
For reasons, I exchanged one stick for a 4gb stick, different brand same speed.
For 3 weeks I didn't have a problem, up until a bsod memory management showed up on Windows 10 2004 x64. That's when I decided to run memtest86.
These are my results. I'll call the slots in the mobo "A" and "B". "X" means empty slot.
*try 1-> A: 2 - B: 4 - failed (8,5hrs)
*try 2-> A: X - B: 4 - failed (8hrs)
*try 3-> A: 2 - B: X - pass (4hrs)
*try 4-> A: 4 - B: X - pass (13hrs)
*try 5-> A: X - B: 4 - failed (10hrs, 1st error 5hrs)
*try 6-> A: X - B: 2 - pass (17hrs)
*try 7-> A: 2 - B: X - pass (19hrs)
*try 8-> A: 4 - B: 2 - failed (1hr)
So... I was ready to conclude that the 4gb stick is failing but it was ok for 11 passes (13 hours). But if failed in one slot and not in the other.
Can I conclude both sticks work ok but not together?
At this point I don't know what to do with the little money I have, if the case is that the 4gb stick is ok and I can't use them together.
Buy another 2gb same brand and speed and go back to square 0.
Sell my 2gb and buy another 4gb same brand and speed and have 8gb like I'd like.
Sell both and buy one 8gb stick and be done with it.
Also, is it ok to have different cache speeds shown every time I boot memtest86?
Mobo is Gigabyte h61m-usb3-b3 for reference.
Thanks in advance for any help someone can provide me.
I attach images with the tests for reference.
Regards!
