How to test specific error address in memtest?

[alrightman]

So I tested and my RAM had an error, but the test took hours to show errors. Now, I really need my RAM soon and the RMA person said that they need to see the errors themselves, is it possible for me to give a specific address min and max to test so the errors will show up fast for example test 5 address xxxxxx1 -> xxxxx5? Or just ask him to skip other tests other than test 5

You should be able to say, "just run this test" if moving inversions with random patterns is what will make it error.

Also, don't you already have several threads open about this over here and over here? Stop making new threads for the same topic, it's not like we're going to give you different answers if you try again. It's not like we're a magic 8 ball.

Some people just dont read old topics so im having a hard time receiving answers for old tests. If my ram errors at test 5 pass 5 is it always going to error at test 5 pass 5?

Which of your threads do you want me to delete? You don't need more than one.

Why not merge them so the old information, help, and suggestions are still retained?

Edit: holt crap.. its like 4 threads!!! Hahaha wth?

Who knows... rma.

Get a set of cheap sticks to use while you wait, and sell when done... or get new good sticks and sell what you get back from rma. We all struggle with this when an rma needs to happen.

Unfortunately new RAM isnt on my budget now. I guess ill have to wait. I also brought my PSU so they can diagnose (both are corsair)

Oh before i forget

i7 6700

Gtx 1070 asus strix

2x8gb corsair vengeance lpx

750W RMi corsair gold rated

Asus b150 pro gaming aura

Youve been here since may... fill out your system specs man so you dont have to repeatedly post your rig...

What was wrong with the psu???? You have errors in memtest bud... seems obvious, no?

All of them?

 

[qubit]

Just tell them which test the RAM fails in.

It says that failing in test 5 could be due to power surges/voltage

Closed the other one, moved this one from general hardware to "Motherboards & Memory".

Have you tried raising the DRAM voltage 0.05 or 0.1V?

Im currently on 1.2V the suggested XMP settings of corsair

Sooooooooo try raising it and see if helps was his point there. Also consider adding .1v SA and IO.

But try raising it slightly to see if it helps, there is some headroom there, not all ram chips are made equal, it's an easy try to start with.

Edit: SNAP! ^^^

Ok I'll try that, but I'll have to wait for him to either return me the RAM (because it is perfectly working) or wait for the RMA. I'm honestly currently clueless as to why Im only freezing in game, I'm just RMAing starting from RAM.

Did not realize this was a plausibility thread, I thought we were helping you to find a solution.

I hate circle jerks, I wish members would just tell us what they want sometimes.

but seriously. Try and raise the voltage. if raising the voltage or disabling XMP (which is also something you should try) doesnt work just RMA the ram. You dont even need to buy new ram. Just send it back. No Money? No problem, just tell them and ask that they pay return shipping. then read a book for a week.

So you've already handed the RAM in? That's just special...

Well I am looking for a solution, specifically to the in game freezing (which prompted me to do a memtest hence this thread.) You guys are helping me find a solution, but some people just try to act cool and diss people for being tech noobs

Yeah I handed the RAM, but the RMA person said that he couldn't find the error in 15 passes (just test 5 because my errors came only from test 5 in 12th pass)

At this point, there is nothing we can do but spout off things to try. Without you having the memory to test, it is all sort of pointless right now. Also, when tested by tech, was it on the same gear as you run, if not, it does not flush out incompatibility or need for a voltage increase. To be honest, if you want the issue fixed, you should lug the PC to this guy so he can sort out the issue for you in that environment. Just realized the ram is with Corsair, not a local shop.

So the Reality of this thread is no one need post further replys as they will be irrelevant untill you get some Ram Back and you UPDATE us

No it was not on the same gear. I gave him my PSU though so he can test it together with ram (i suspect either ram or mobo issue). Wouldnt it be better if he tested it in a different gear so that if errors do come out, we can be almost sure it is the ram stick at fault. Unfortunately where I live, the tech guys are not as adept as those in the US. They basically employ people who run everything by the book - that is why I am here in a tech forum looking for help. Believe me, if the tech guys here were as competent, I wouldn't be in a tech forum feeling like an idiot.

I mean the memory test failing was already a pretty clear indication it’s not working on your system
