Hi all
I have a windows 7 pc that freezes every time on the starting windows screen.
Even trying to start safe mode it will freeze, and the same if I try start up repair with or without disks.
So basically I can't get in to do anything.
I have tested all components within the pc. Tried a different psu, checked hdd for errors, unplugged devices not needed etc.
I ran memtest86 on the ram and even that came up fine, so I was at a bit of a loss.
However I remembered a stick of ddr3 ram that I had lying around and thought " what the hell I'll try it". So I took out the ram already in there and replaced it with that stick. The pc now boots fine every time.
So could it be something else or is memtest wrong sometimes?
Thank you in advance
