Free v4.3.7 reporting 65535+ errors....

[montejw360]

first time trying memtest86. been getting bsod errors with win10 that i'd never had before. the program has been running 11+ hours. attached is a camera shot of the screen, memtest is still running. is there any need to keep testing, or just go get new memory?

or could something else be happening?

thanks,
monte

tried one stick at a time, found the bad one. pretty obvious pretty quickly once the test was running for a short time.

Yes, you don't need to wait until it has found 65,000+ errors (and 11 hours) before you conclude that there is something wrong.

Glad you found the problem.

no worries. i started it and let it run overnight. then read some other threads and chased down the problem.

thanks.
