• Ram is broken, but which one?
    14 replies, posted
I've been having alot of trouble with my PC since the end of october. Today I finally found out that my ram is broken because I ran a memtest. (results [url]http://i.imgur.com/YWQmC.jpg[/url]) It froze directly after the test. Should I just go remove them one by one? Or should I remove them all and then reinsert one at a time?
Remove and reinsert one by one, so you find out which one is broken.
Ok. Then I only have one problem and that is that I can't release the lower holders because the GPU is in the way. Is it a difficult task to remove it for someone who has never done that before?
Just discharge yourself on a radiator or whatever before taking the GPU out. Your motherboard's PCI-E slot probably has a "lock". It the guy on the end of the slot to the right: [url]http://www.build-my-home-computer.com/image-files/pci-express-slot.jpg[/url] It should look something like that. You'll have to push it to one side (some are designed in a different way, though) in order to take the card out. That's the only thing I'd think could mean trouble to you.
Thanks. I found the "Lock" but just to be on the safe side I texted a friend of mine if he could come over to help me out before I break anything. That would be damn shame. But thanks for the help both of you! EDIT: For the ones curious, I found the faulty RAM. It gave a rather... interesting error when testing it: [url]http://i.imgur.com/Tq7Za.jpg[/url]

The latest version is like 4.10, and that's 1.0c. Get latest version to avoid false positives [url]www.memtest.org[/url]
You need help taking out a video card? Wtf?

[QUOTE=Chubbs;33994803]He might not have ever done it before?[/QUOTE] Its just a clip on.. as long as he unplugged and is grounded he can do whatever he wants.

Hahahah, stupid children don't understand how to take something out of a PCI-E slot with no repercussions and his army defending his ignorance.
[QUOTE=windwakr;33998180]He's using 4.0a, which is not "Ancient". It was released in August. He's using memtest86, not memtest86+(which is a fork of memtest86) which your link leads to.[/QUOTE] The original memtest86 IS ancient. It supports nowhere near the amount of hardware that memtest86+ supports, and has a history of going years without updates that lead to the application failing to work at all. You shouldn't be using memtest86 for any reason.
