Windows 10: 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?

:)

 

Driver Verifier BSOD on Start Up DRIVER_VERIFIER_DETECTED_VIOLATION

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.

 

RAM

Guys,

I have HP 7900 machine and i had 4gb RAM (1×1×1×1) now my 1 ram is faulty so i replace faulty RAM with 2gb ... is 2gb RAM will match with 1gb RAM (1×1×1) ?

 

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.

 

Ok I'll do that at some point today, I ran mem again last night because I will realised I only let it run for 4 passes the first time and this time I got an error

 

My laptop only has 1 stick according to specifications HP Notebook - 15-r101na Product Specifications | HP® Customer Support
so is a RAM replacement in order?

 

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

 

Yes I opened it up earlier but stopped half way through because I needed to use it, I'll re-seat the RAM and run the test tonight

 

Re-seated the RAM and ran memtest again, still got an error

 

Try this SW: MemTest86 - Offical Site of the x86 Memory Testing Tool

 

What do you mean by SW?

 

SoftWare.

 

Ok thank you, the link you posted is the software I've been using.

 

Just got a blue screen after a crash



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.
