Windows 10: Looking for free app to test RAM sticks and slots

I am having issues resulting in the BSOD and after doing a number of things, I have come to the conclusion that my problem is either a RAM stick and/or a memory socket. Without going into EVERYTHING that I have already done and what else it might be, what I am doing here is simply asking for a free app to test RAM sticks and slots. I am hoping to identify specific sticks and/or slots. I am running a current version of Windows 11 on a gamer computer ASUS MB and G.SKILL RAM. The Windows Memory Diagnostics promises to tell me what it found after rebooting, but, it never does. Thanks.

Ram slot

Greetings my friend. Like 'Mike P', my dell has only two slots as well. There are several laptops that have four (4) ram slots. Lenovo, ASUS, some HP's and some dell's. I would suggest going to a website like newegg.com, or other computer accessory place,
and looking at their memory/ram selections. Reading their details should provide some insight as to the number of slots.

Of course, if your budget allows, the more ram you have, the better the laptop will be.

I hope this helps.

 RAM TEST

I've had a few more BSODs, however when I went to create the usual dm log, I noticed it say there were no minidumps. My computer did recently update to Fall Creators, and I don't have the 'Disable automatic deletion of memory dumps when disk space is low' ticked, but the drive isn't even half full.

Anyways, I'm going to try some more troubleshooting steps and wanted to run them by the thread before actually doing them:
- Re-seat graphics card and memory. Already done today, will be doing a test (aka, normal nightly gaming) to see if it crashes.
- Move a crash-prone game to third hard drive and unplug current
- Swap out my 1080 for my old 750TI I still have lying around
- Buy a single 16GB DDR4 RAM stick and use that in a different slot. Unfortunately my cooler covers one of the memory slots, so I can have a max of 3 sticks. If nothing else, I'm upgrading to 32GB of RAM =P Probably last test b/c it involves spending money
- Reinstall Windows

Anyone have a suggested order I should attempt these in? I'm thinking next step is probably either install on third drive and unplug second, or swap graphics cards

 

 RAM TEST

The crash reports continue to suggest memory corruption. I would run a memory diagnostic.



Diagnostic Test [/i] RAM TEST


Run MemTest86+ to analyse your RAM. MemTest86+ - Test RAM - Windows 10 Forums



Note



MemTest86+ needs to be run for at least 8 complete passes for conclusive results. Set it running before you go to bed and leave it overnight. We're looking for zero errors here. Even a single error will indicate RAM failure.

Make a photo of the result and post it.

Addition:
If errors show up you can stop the test, remove all sticks but 1 and test this single stick in each slot for 8 passes or until errors show, switch sticks and repeat in this way you will tests all the sticks and also the slots.
