[SOLVED] Windows Memory Diagnostics/Memtest86 detected a hardware problem.

New Build for 2023

Starting getting some memory related crashes in games - between 2-10 minutes into each game run.

Ran Windows Memory Diagnostics, which detected a hardware issue, but didn't give much details. I also ran Memtest86 which generated about ~800 errors with both sticks in on the first pass.

64GB of ram - Trident Z5 DDR5-6000 CL30 Memory. MSI MEG motherboard with overclock profiles enabled.

So far I've removed the second stick, and re-running memtest86 seems to be passing so far (still in the final out of the 4 runs, with no issues detected). I'll swap out the ram and try another test to try and replicate the fail on the suspect stick.

Sounds like you'll be returning a stick.

I'm honestly just hoping it's that simple - one faulty memory stick is much better than it being an issue with the motherboard or CPU, or something harder to find.

Did you remove the xmp setting?

I haven't removed the overclock profiles yet - but this motherboard + RAM + CPU are all specifically designed for the profile that's enabled.

I got round to testing the other stick and everything seemed to work.

After swapping the ram and reseating it, all tests are currently passing. Might have not been installed properly.

So - if all things go okay - back up to 64GB of RAM!

Awesome outcome, Will.

I'm still stuck down here at 32 GB RAM!
