Windows 10: 3 BSOD in three days, memtest86 shows errors, am I sure it's the ram ?

Hi,


My computer worked fine no BSOD for years. On the last months I a had some BSOD, and then I had three in three day.

All last three about memory management. I have neither new hardware nor new software except windows and may be avast updates.


My config :

• Windows 10 fully updated
• Mother board ASUS P8P67 with 2x4G RAM

I launched MdSched various times, no error detected. I tried memtest86 and it appears I have a lot of errorssee images

Is my RAM dying ? or could it be an avast problem as I read here ?


Any other test I should do ?


Hereafter an extract from the last 3 minidump files here are the full


Thanks for any help.

Crossfire - 2900XT - BSOD above 5GB RAM

Many thanks for suggestions:

- memtest86+1.7.iso was used and showed all 8GB OK
- Now tried all combinations for the Crossfire internal bridges - no change to memory being reported

So, I have a Crossfire-enabled system but cannot get it to run above 5gb and when 8GB worth of RAM is inserted it BSODs.

Any further suggestions welcome...

 

Windows 10 Frequent BSODS

HI,

We can't be sure if it's the cause of all BSOD errors, I think we should wait if your PC will encounter a new BSOD error after avast is uninstalled. I suggest for now that you try to test your RAM/Memory using Windows Memory Diagnostic Tool or MEMTest86.

 

LOTS OF ERRORS on Passmark memtest86 v7.1

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 ] ''

• Image for creating bootable CD (ISO format)
• Image for creating bootable USB Drive

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

MemTest86 - Download now!

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
