New laptop. New ram. I made sure the ram was compatible with the system. It was. The RAM is from crucial.
I bought two of them and my system is up to 8 gigs, max 4g per slot. I was playing games today and it kept crashing to desktop mid way through due to an
"Instruction at referenced memory could not be read" with a bunch of numbers.
So I ran a memory diagnostics. It shut down completely without warning at 02% on first part.
So I stuck in the RAM that came with the system. Ran the diagnostic again. That worked fine.
So then I thought maybe it is only 1 of the Crucial sticks. I tried each stick by itself and then in either slot. When trying to run memory diagnostics, the computer shut down every time without warning at 02% on first part of the test.
These sticks cost me 50$. And now my 30 days is up so I probably can't return them.
What gives? If they are bad, how does the laptop even operate?
Update - Update - Okay, looks like the error message for the game is being experienced by other users and isn't due to my RAM, but rather bad coding in the software updates of the game.
