bad ram?

Recommended Posts

Not enough info, which RAM? Which system? What other problems are you having? I'd submit a ticket.

 

this is my built

 

1 AMD Ryzen 5 2600 Wraith Boxed (CPU)

1 Asus Prime B350-Plus (MOBO)

1 Sapphire Nitro+ Radeon RX 580 8GD5 Special Edition (GPU)

1 Seagate Barracuda, 2TB (HDD)

1 Corsair Vengeance LPX CMK16GX4M2B3000C15B 16gb (2x8gb)

1 BitFenix Formula Gold 450W (PSU)

1 Samsung 860 EVO 250GB (SSD)

 

after swapping ram modules to test both the 2 rams and ram slot, it turned out that one of the rams is causing the problem. i wanted to check if the ram was corrupted.

 

So these are the test i done:

No error beeps.

No posting problems.

Able to see memory in linux and bios (however they are showing 2133 instead of 3000).

Did memtest v7.5 with 8 passes no errors. (4 passes with +0.1voltage)

 

everything seems fine.

 

Based on the QVL list my ram is listed but mine has a "B" at the end.

they should still be the same because the B stands for Blue.

 

i get 2 different errors

both ram inserted: 0xc0000098 (ntoskrnl.exe)

only bad ram inserted: 0xc0000017 (not enough ram inserted)

 

hdd/ssd were disconnected when testing so its not the problem.

See if the vendor can exchange the kit, otherwise submit a ticket.
