    Looks like bad ram. The range is small enough that maybe you can blacklist the memory location for the time being, but it is recommended that it should be fixed*. See the following pages for information:

    MemTest86 - Troubleshooting Memory Errors
    MemTest86 - Blacklisting RAM Pages

    *Note that masking faulty memory addresses does not fix defective RAM but provides a temporary workaround for allowing the system to boot, especially in the case of soldered memory that cannot be easily replaced. Faulty memory should always be replaced, if possible.

  • Does a bad test result means my motherboard is fried?

    Hello everyone, I am new to this forum. I have a ASUS X515JA that stopped working. I always have a blue screen in window telling me that my PC needs to be repaired and needs a recovery tool. There is no memory error generated by POST at startup. However, when I run MemTest86, it Failed memory test (see print screen). Does it means that my motherboard is fried? I have 4GB on board and 4 GB on a slot. I removed my 4GB that was in slot with the same error. Thank you for your feedbacks.
