I've been having problems with random BSODs lately, and I finally got around to running MemTest86. I ran four passes of the first 9 tests, all on core 0, and I did indeed get errors.
The errors aren't what I expected though. I was expecting to see certain memory addresses throwing errors in multiple passes, probably with different data. Instead there were different addresses throwing the same two errors in each pass, and I don't think any one address showed an error more than once. Most of the errors were during test 7 [Moving inversions, 32-bit pattern]. Most of these had the expected value 00000080, and the actual value of 20000080. The others were expected: 00000002, actual: 10000002.
The remaining few errors were in test 8, one error each on the 1st, 3rd, and 4th passes, different addresses, different data.
So, what I'm wondering is, are these errors indicative of something besides bad RAM? They're just so consistent in what seems like the wrong way... I really hope someone can help me with this. I also hope dropbox is an acceptable way to share the test log.
