memTest.....help!!

Kgentatszu] · Jun 19, 2003, 07:30 AM

yesterday, i downloaded this programme and tested the hell out of my memory....the thing is after running this programme for a few hours, the programme found 10 errors from my Ram within 1600% coverage. I didnt encounter any errors using Sandra's burn-in memory test nor in games...
so, just wanna ask you guys if you have ran this programme before. Should i go and RMA the RAM or should i just leave that alone?? anyone who wish to help can download this freeware and see if any errors encountered......or is it just my PC??----------->http://hcidesign.com

thankz in advance...

er....sorry, you got me wrongly.....i mean errors in memory modules, like when you benchmark the ram, you get error 00034x62342 and some kind'a address of that sort.....by the way, what do you mean by permanent damage?? how??

The_Neon_Cowboy · Jun 30, 2003, 01:06 PM

well for exaple sometims you just get an error .. but say you set your ram votage to high it can kill it real fast. it souldnt couse errors if so i would back your o/c down. and try again

think of the traces in your ram as a copper wire the more votage the faster electricity will degrade that wire until it no longer conducts electricity aka dead ram

thats the effect overcocking has .. but if you were sat to over cock a stick of ram way past it's limits it would over heat or chips would fail inutrnally.. or explode etc... it all depends i have seen alot
