Thread: Memtest86

Hi

Have not used that software in a long long time ....

First thing to do is:
1. Turn it off.
2. Discharge your static and hold onto something earthy or wear a static strap.
3. Remove and reseat all 4 RAM chips in the same sockets.
4. Turn it back on again and redo the test.

If it was a RAM chip badly seated the problem will go away.
If not repeat the above but swap over some chips to another slot and see if the memory fault occurs at a different location. The mem tester should tell you at what location a failure occurred at. If the fault moves with the chip then bingo - problem found.

You could also possibly reseat the CPU itself.

reseated ram,
same result at the same spot,,
STATE= ///W

I wonder what the W means?
memtest has not show any errors, in 4 core or single mode.

I think its a cpu problem

this is probably the only time its run all 4 cores at once since it, er, appeared.
