    Question about faulty ram


    My laptop has been freezing randomly lately and I've been trying to find the cause of the freezes. I've ran HP diagnostics a few times and one test came back as:

    But the all the other times It passed and I also ran memtest last night which showed 0 errors? Can a RAM stick/slot be faulty but still pass the tests?

    :)

    Thanks for the update.

    It is worth remembering that the Windows 7 Memory Diagnostic Tool can determine that RAM is faulty but testing does not prove that RAM is not faulty. Another method of checking for faulty RAM is to swap individual sticks of RAM in and out to determine
    whether one stick is faulty.

    Question about faulty ram

    If you have more then one RAM Stick, remove all but one and run the Extensive test again on each RAM stick separately. Also with Memtest for at least 7 passes each for each stick.

    Are you comfortable opening up the laptop........if so you might want to re-seat the RAM and run the test again......

    Just got a blue screen after a crash

    Question about faulty ram [​IMG]

    This is the first time I've had a blue screen after a crash normally I would have to do a hard reset, could this have something to do with me re-seating the RAM?

    That BSOD shows something is wrong with Video memory. If there's no dedicated Video card than it's using system memory.
