Hi, I am trying to run diagnostic on my hardware that has been misbehaving recently and I decided to come here for help.
I am running i7-12700k with 16 gigs of 6000 mhz ddr5 ram from kingston.
For a month now I have been having random crashes in certain games with blue screens citing memory issue or kernel trap. Certain game crashes cited memory couldn't be written to a specific field.
Today I ran a memtest86 on my ram in the following order: Stick A and B were ran first resulting in 46 different errors and took 38 minutes to do, then I ran stick B and A (swapped positions) it took 42 minutes to do and only 16 errors occurred. Following that I ran only B stick where 0 errors occurred and it took 20 minutes to finish, and then I ran only A stick where unexpectedly 0 errors occurred but the memtest time ended up being 50 minutes long.
Is it safe to assume that the issue is in fact in the stick A due to how long it took to run the test, or is there an issue somewhere else, for example my cpu or motherboard, or could the speed of stick A impact the way it functions when paired with the stick B that causes the errors?
Apologies for suck a rumbling post, I have no idea where to ask for any help and the PC being new gen I don't have other components anywhere to swap and test with.
Thank you all for any information you could provide!
