Hi,
The problem is that when i play comp on csgo, the server kicks me for paks errors. I've tried checking for disk errors and ram ones. The disk is perfect. I am using Passmark memtest V7.1 right now, and it shows me more than 1000 errors. IDK what to do with this.
Intel core i7 4770
Ram 16 gb 1600mhz (8x2)
Motherboard gigabyte, dont remember right now. It has 4 ram slots 1 pci express, 1 pci 2.0 i think. (chipset of proccesor)
Gtx 750 ti
Masterwatt lite 600wats 80 plus.

1:20 h have passed, now it shows more than 4000 errors

the ram is bad replace it or RMA
 
RMA stands for Return Merchandise Authorisation - or in other words, contact the manufacturer 's warranty/support team for the RAM (or PC if it is a pre-built) if it is still under warranty so they can process your claim and authorise it to be returned (if they deem it a fault).

4000 errors is a lot, so most people will assume that is a RAM fault (and is most likely). You could try to make sure that your RAM is operating at the correct frequency and timings specified by the manufacturer. If you have the model number of the RAM, I am sure that someone can help you find the specifications for it.

They may require you to send both back, even if only one is faulty. I can't say for sure. Maybe you could try the above that I have mentioned and maybe even run memtest with only one stick at a time to see if you can narrow down the fault.
 
In a dual channel board, you wat to install RAM in "matched pairs' that have been tested as compatible at the factory. You never return just 1 stick as neither is guaranteed to work with any other stick.
 
If you are running the full test including "hammer test" that will generally throw up lots of errors.
If you get booted from the servers due to "pak" errors, have you installed any game mods, as that could be the cause.
 
Make sure you have the proper voltages and timings set. Incorrect ones can cause errors.

Not if its actually stable it won't.
 
best to run each stick individually / one at a time in each slot if it passes in first slot move to the next and so on then the next stick the same [ helps insure you don't have a bad slot or your not setting the memory fully in the slot kinda thing and show what stick is bad of the 2 if one is ] improperly seated memory will error

be sure you got the latest revision of memtest 86 or memtest 86+ [looks pretty out dated on the 86+ ] you show on memtest 86 7.1 but its '' MemTest86 V7.5 Free Edition Download (also includes V4 for old machines)''

my 4670 with 2x8 1600's ran out fine after 12 hrs on each stick under there XMP setting so it should work with yours [ booted off pen drive and or a dvd iso ] ''
choose the correct one you want to use .

anyway I used a older copy I had and nothing passed sticks were not supported under it so use that latest

https://www.memtest86.com/download.htm

if one stick cant pass with 2 trys its RMA I just had a gskill rma of a old kit of there and it was simple and easy took like 3 days to get it there and near overnight to get a new kit back from them .

just default any overclocking and set the xmp and run it a bad oc will throw a lot of errors on good parts

I pass that hammer test everytime , but they did claim a issues with it at one time , so you'd think they fixed it by now

''Why am I only getting errors during Test 13 Hammer Test?

''a significant number of RAM modules manufactured 2010 or newer are affected by this defect. In simple terms, susceptible RAM modules can be subjected to disturbance errors when repeatedly accessing addresses in the same memory bank but different rows in a short period of time.''

key wording ''''a significant number of RAM modules manufactured 2010 or newer are affected by this defect'' as in defective memory you bought or own

good luck

I had a bad Corsair stick, part of a 2 x 4Gb kit. They wanted me to send both, but I emailed them and said i needed to keep one, to eliminate down time. They allowed me to RMA just one stick, and it all worked out fine. So if you have no spares, you should just ask (and make damn sure you send back the right one!).

I had the same with G.Skill, I emailed and said I needed to keep one good stick to keep my system running and they were fine with only sending back the defective stick of Ram, although they do say they prefer both back if a set.
 
well you don't want to mix memory a memory in a kit is factory matched out side of that they cant guarantee then to work . even the sane brand same model number and all the same the stick you first bought can have these micron IC's in them and the ones you get today could not and be say Hynix that ever changing all you get is with in that line of memory's specs .

most like gskill got that stated on there sites . why it allways recommended to buy the amount of memory you need in a factory tested and matched kit . notice on there rma form you list the part memorys part numbers ?? like a 2 stick kit is 0000000001 and 000000002 then they now you did buy as a kit not just crap you throwed together in any old way .

Q:
I want to install more memory, in addition to my existing memory kit. What are my options?

A:
We do not recommend mixing memory kits, regardless of brand or model.

By mixing memory kits together, there may be compatibility issues such as unable to boot or unable to operate at rated specifications.

Each of our memory kit are thoroughly tested to ensure compatibility within each memory kit. And because we have not tested our memory kit with your existing memory kit, we cannot guarantee compatibility when multiple kits are used.

''I had the same with G.Skill, I emailed and said I needed to keep one good stick to keep my system running and they were fine with only sending back the defective stick of Ram, although they do say they prefer both back if a set.''

not to say its not true but hard to swallow on that. cause they now cant cover there butt on any guarantee over doing that

for me I want the factory tested and matched memory kit over any risk of a what ever and end up with stability issues no matter how slight or small . that's just common sense if your looking for a solid and stable build
 
I wanted to ask and forgot , if you installed the cpu or if you use a aftermarket cpu cooler that don't use the stock type mounting [ push pins in this case ] ?

now some guys found there cooler mounting had been a cause like the coolers back plate wrong or forgot insulation ect... or most it was the tightened down the cooler too much or lopsided that caused stress on the pcb memory slot closest to the cpu / cpu socket and just loosened the cooler bolts and was good to go after that

then I worse case you could say when they installed the intel cpu they bent pins . all it can take is one - bent pin stories are common around with intel and I guess easy to do if not carefull.

you say due to pak errors ? that's more like internet issues / corrupted download / incomplete download .

I'm sure you looked at that

they can be quick to blame your hardware when I fact it could be there poorly optimized and poorly coded software that doing it or cause damage to your hardware . remember there software does no wrong its all ways you and your hardware ..

that's seeing you only pointed this out with that one game at issue and now you chasing your tail over your hardware or putting yourself in a mess that you may not of been in the first place over there game / software ?

suer seem a lot of guy got bad memory or a failing harddrive with this game . by no means it the crap software , setam /uplay/or origins malware clients being used , right ? hmmmmmmm.....
