  • Large number of ECC Correctable Errors; am I still safe?

    I have one RAM module that's giving me a large number of ECC correctable errors (about 15 errors per pass, mostly on test 7). Since they were 'correctable' the results ended up with no errors. Is it safe to continue using the RAM or should I replace the module ASAP?

    First post. Thanks!

    If I was using the machine for something important or valuable (e.g. this is a database server at a bank) I would replace the RAM the next time you have maintenance on the machine. If it was just a gaming machine or a plain old web server, then I might be tempted to leave it until there was some other symptoms (like the O/S crashing).
