Windows 10: Windows errors in questions

Well.. many years ago, I upgraded from a 4 to 8GB of Coursair memory. Me be new to computer issues like this, I reformated my HDD and resintalled Win7 and even sent in my GPU to due crashes and such I had. Got to a point where it was my new sticks were the issue.. I'm kind of happy I'm doing the memory test before doing anything. That Event ID 1001 regading the memory, started back on 2 of Feb. That is what Event Viewer shows

 

Yeah good thing you are. At least the major problem has been found *Smile

 

I just wish there is a better way to determinate which stick is bad, with out testing each one...

 

That's a good question. That's how I've had to do it. And that's what I tell my clients, and whoever needs computer help

 

Reason why I ask, since all the addr with the first number being a 6 or a 7 and the last number being an 8. Also, does my system restart when Memtest86 is done?

 

Mine did not. I had to do a manual restart.

 

So once it is done, it'll boot into Windows?

 

No. With memtest86 I had to press the reset button and reboot

 

But be sure to remove the drive that you used for memtest, and it will boot back to Windows

 

If you use Windows memory diagnostics then yes it would boot to Windows when done

 

If I may add a comment, once you see an error in red with Memtest86 there is no point carrying on the test, any error is bad! Therefore it is quite quick to test each stick in turn in slot 1 and identify the one which shows up the errors as bad, (you indicated the error showed up straight away), then you can fit the others back in and run the extended test on these good memory sticks to be sure your system is OK.

 

Yeah that's why I said they need to be tested individually to find the bad one. Glad you added that though *Smile

 

I did a test with two sticks. Since one of them I can't get to, due to my derpness having my CPU cooler turned a different way. It came with errors, so the only one I can get out.. So far, with one stick (being the one I can't get to) with no errors... I may have the wrong stick.. hope it is just one

 

Well, if that stick has no errors, then add the other sticks doing the test one by one. If you start getting errors with the next one inserted, then You will know what stick/sticks are Bad.

 

I bought two packs of 16GB (2x8GB).. If the bad one is part of the set of the one I can't get... that will be a pain... since I have to pull my whole system apart... *Sad I just hope I can send in one stick.
