Memory problems

Posts: 4,250 Forumite
I have a Quad-Core PC with 8GB RAM
Recently, I've been getting BSOD when trying to convert video files. It happens in both Windows 7 64-bit and Vista 32-bit
I either get MEMORY_MANAGEMENT or PFN_LIST_CORRUPT.
I've made sure that all my drivers are up to date and still the same
So I'm running MemTest86 and have so far got the following screen. Can anyone translate it?

Not really
But what id do is take each out in turn and systematically figure out which one isnt working properly:idea:0 -
Do you know if the memory timing is set in the BIOS to use SPD (i.e. the timing that the maker says it can run at)?
If a custom timing has been set, you may be trying to run it too fast.
PC Wizard should tell you what the memory is certified to run at, which you can compare with the 6-6-6-18 that Memtest is reporting (or better, what the BIOS shows).0 -

Everything in the DRAM menu of the bios is set to Auto
My motherboard is an ASUS M2N-SLI (not deluxe)One important thing to remember is that when you get to the end of this sentence, you'll realise it's just my sig.0 -
One of your memory sticks has failed, determining which one will involve testing one module at a time.Remember kids, it's the volts that jolt and the mills that kill.0

Yeah, pretty resigned to that fact now lol
I guess the quickest way is to remove one, then try the video convert again as memtest takes a bloomin age!One important thing to remember is that when you get to the end of this sentence, you'll realise it's just my sig.0 -
It has 8GB of RAM to check, how long did you think it was going to take?
If it's any consolation, Memtest will only take one quarter of the time it takes to test the 8GB in order to test one module.Remember kids, it's the volts that jolt and the mills that kill.0 -
How do you know when Memtest has finished? It was going for 18 hours when I gave up! You can see from the pic how long it had been going thenOne important thing to remember is that when you get to the end of this sentence, you'll realise it's just my sig.0

The timer was running for 18 hours, Memtest stopped the testing process as soon as it encountered the error.halibut2209 wrote: »It was going for 18 hours when I gave up!Remember kids, it's the volts that jolt and the mills that kill.0 -
so it just goes on and on until you stop it (sorry for sounding thick. I'm actually pretty good with computers, though hardware issues are a gap!)One important thing to remember is that when you get to the end of this sentence, you'll realise it's just my sig.0
