Hey, I am needing some help with some possible faulty memory. A couple years ago I bought G.SKILL Ripjaws Z Series 64GB (8 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231513.
Right when I installed them I noticed out of the 64 GB of memory it was missing 4-8 GB (sometimes 4GB, other times 8 GB. It seemed to be random every time I booted the machine). I tried moving the sticks around and singling them out to see if it was the motherboard. It was consistently the same two sticks with the missing memory (two 8GB sticks missing 4 GB of memory, one always missing it, the other sometimes missing it). I also tried a memory test with no negative results.
I probably should have reported this when I first got them, but it wasn’t causing any stability problems. That is, until I recently upgraded one of my essential application that uses 55+GB of memory. That program crashes now and I have come to the conclusion that they are related.
Is there any fix for this? Does it sound like faulty memory? Anyone else have anything like this happen? Thanks for the help
My specs:
Windows 7 64bit
64GB of G.SKILL Ripjaws Z Series 64GB (8 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Desktop Memory Model F3-10666CL9Q2-64GBZL
