+Fahim S. MVC Posted February 21, 2013 MVC Share Posted February 21, 2013 Take them all out and test them one by one You can't. RAMBUS needs to be installed in matching pairs Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1137824-does-this-mean-one-of-my-ram-sticks-is-bad/#findComment-595535556 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detection Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Run Memtest86 on each stick by itself You can't. RAMBUS needs to be installed in matching pairs Ah, ok, then if there are 4, you can still test each stick paired with an already tested one If 2, not sure Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1137824-does-this-mean-one-of-my-ram-sticks-is-bad/#findComment-595535562 Share on other sites More sharing options...
LUTZIFER Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Probably dirty/dusty connections, maybe you need to blow out the dust. I assume it's an old computer.
