Hi,
I built a PC earlier this year, and I had problem running Memtest86 with this memory kit : Model F4-3200C16Q-64GVK
Initially, I put one stick at the time in, and it started failing when I put the 4th in. As soon as I would remove THAT stick, it would pass. And if I moved another stick in its position, it would work. So I thought it was a faulty stick.
I RMA'd that one, and received a new one. The problem persist. So I am not so sure anymore the problem is the memory; or I was really unlucky. After reading many things on similar topic, I came to wonder if it is not a "combination" problem. This is my setup:
AMD Ryzen 5500
ASRock B550 Pro4
64Gb RAM F4-3200C16Q-64GVK
... Not that it matters, but the rest of the specs are
Nvidia GTX 1060 3GB
Gamemax power supply 850W
OS is on WD Red SA500 M.2 2280 1 TB drive
I have some other drives not listed here (mechanical + SSD).
Windows 11 (but I don't even go there for Memtest86)
A few things:
1. Error is always on the same addresses, from the same CPU
2. I tried the XMP setting to run at 3200Mhz, it is way worse.
3. I am trying on all default, so the RAM runs at 2666Mhz, still get some errors
4. All voltage and OC stuff is set to Auto and I still get some errors.
I don't want to game, I don't want to overclock, I just use this as a home server to run some software development VMs, Plex, and the such. But I would feel better with a Memtest86 that doesn't fail.
Suggestions?
