Windows 10: Ram stick goes bad after reinstalling windows everytime.

Hello, I've had to reinstall windows twice now. Everytime, a ram stick of mine seems to go bad. Is there a reason for this? Is there a workaround where it's windows 10's fault, or is it just coincidence?

Is it a bad idea to have two ram sticks from two different brands?

May i ask why you didn't run the Crucial scanner so you know if your RAM is spec'd correctly. Having correctly spec'd RAM is that most basic thing one should do. We don't just swap in random RAM sticks, which is reckless.

I took my time to write out the steps that would resolve this for you. May I ask why you ignored them as thought I hadn't written a word? Those steps would help you determine for sure the RAM specs, whether it's working, how to clean and prepare sticks that
are dirty or corroded.

This is an interactive process, we give steps to try so you can try them and report back results. I gave you what needs to be done, based on helping in thousands of similar cases for ten years daily in forums, during which I have won the highest award in the
tech field every single year.

Please do not skip any steps. We often find out later that the fix was the skipped step. If you need help performing any step I will help.

 

2 Ram Sticks

A PC will not boot without the ATX 12V. Your seeing the fans spinning. Its not a boot as you described no image on monitor.

Also you need to list ALL you hardware.

Its ether bad ram, bad slot or bad PSU

Run Memtest *Bang Head :banghead:
