Hey,
Guys

I ran MemTest86 overnight and after 17 passes got 20 errors. So my question is this probably bad Ram or a bad slot on the m/b?

I have been getting very sporadic (ie works for weeks fine then bam bsod) bsod with Mem Management and Page Fault in Non-Paged Area Errors but I ran a long DST (overnight) on the HD and it was fine.

I have also updated the Bios.

Both the DST and Bios update were done on Monday 04/22/2013

Then memTest86 was run last night, overnight.

System Specs:

Amd BE 965
GIGABYTE GA-970A-D3 AM3+ AMD 970
Corsair Vengeance 8 GB ( 2 x 4 GB ) DDR3 1600 MHz (PC3 12800)
Gigabyte AMD Radeon HD 7870 2 GB
Western Digital BE 1TB


Thanks in advance...........

Scott
