    1 error is bad
    10,000 is very bad.

    2 active CPUs is normal for a dual core CPU (hyperthreading is ignored).

    Hello. I'm trying to do a MemTest on my PC.
    Everytime I do it I get 10000+ Errors and it abort the test.
    I did a test on every single Test (from 1 to 13) and everytime I get 10000+ Errors in CPU:0 and CPU:2
    It even says CPU Founded: 4 - CPU Started: 2 - CPU Active: 2
    So, what it can be?
    The errors seems always the same in every single Test with "Expected ????????" and "Actual ????????" which ? are a binary code and then CPU:0 - CPU:2

    Thanks

    We have seen many people report problems in dual channel mode that don't occur in single channel.

    Different timings, different electrical load, different EMI, different slots, slightly different cooling / temperatures, different access patterns.
    These things combine to tip some marginal RAM over the edge (Barely working ==> Not really well at all)

    Hello,
    it looks like I have a defective memory stick. In dual channel mode, the memtest stops at 7th test due to too many errors.

    I tested both sticks, of which one seems to work fine, and the other returns 1 error/pass.

    Is it usual that in dual channel mode there is a flood of errors if there's one faulty memory stick?

    Or could there be something else broken too?

    My system is 4 years old, no new components.
Working...
