Hammer Row Failure after BSOD

[martialguy]

Here's my output report for my 32gb RAM on Windows 7. My assumption is that after numerous BSODs while running video and several Chrome tabs open that I have some faulty memory. Does this indicate the same to you?

Thanks for a great piece of software!

Failures in Test 13 do indicate faulty RAM but it may or may not be directly causing your BSOD issues. See this page for details about errors detected in Test 13.

I would try swapping the modules for known good RAM to see if you still experience the BSOD. This would determine whether or not memory is the culprit.

Thanks Keith,

After further QA with the PC, I found out that there was a corrupted driver as well as another set of failures in the RAM, so I recovered the C drive and have new RAM coming today.
