Hey guys!

I have 2 PCs connect in one room to the same power socket,
both basically the same configuration of Hardware.

With both, memory test inconsistently detect Errors.
The older one has more frequent bluescreens imo.

My question:
Do you think anything, like power supply or whatnot can cause them both
to have problems with ram?

Im wondering because all my other computer ran totally fine.
And I have to admit I never in my life had problems with Ram,
even that I know it can be common and know two PCs in the same
room start acting up..

Thanks for your answers and consideraions!

Regards

The most likely components to fail if the power is dodgy are the power supply or motherboard, not RAM.
A good power supply too will protect the motherboard.
It's always a good idea to use a surge protected power board, even better with some sort of filtering for electrical interference.
Saying that though, this is likely not your issue.

Run memtest86+ from a boot CD.
If this finds errors, get new RAM.

Thank you for your help!

Yeah, that's what I thought.
just so strange that both start acting up, the rest all fine.
Well thanks for the suggestion with the surge protected power board.

I checked with Memtest86+ on both already for one day.
First: No error other day: had errors. Single and all sticks.
with WinMemorycheck found some errors.

I have them under full warranty with the seller, so I guess I get me new ones,
but I think its still strange..

Thanks again for your help! :)

Kind Regards
