First off, my specs are :

i7-3770k
Gigabyte G1 Sniper 3
16GB GSkill Ripjaws Z Series 1600 CL 9.0
Samsung 840 Evo & 2TB WD Black's
Corsair AX860
GTX 980


So following many recent BSOD's when gaming (about 4 in the space of 2 hours) had me worried the something has gone wrong in my system. Looking on the blue screen, the problem was "Memory_Management" Some searching about and I turned to Memtest86 to scan my Ram as that seems to be the main cause for this.

So I have ran Memtest86 for almost 5 hours now and 2 passes later I have 4589 errors. Now most people on here say to run it over night to get the best results but I would say its done the job already. My question is what do I do now?

Do I unplug 3 modules and leave 1 in and run Memtest86 again and try narrow down what module it is? Also is there a more detailed log of the errors I can view within windows?

I know that GSkill have lifetime warranty on their Ram so would I need to send them the Memtest86 results or would they just accept them without any questions?

Check each stick individually (are they all from a single set?) Narrow it down and send an email (in the States rma@gskillusa.com else rma@gskill.com) let them know what you have, the results of Memtest, etc and they'll advise you on the proper procedures

The whole set has to be returned; if you don't need PC, doesn't really matter other than your own curiosity which one it is.

OTOH, if you want to use your PC in the interim, you can try a pair ... or one at a time and narrow it down (stop when you get an error)....then just use the good ones until replacement arrives *.

For future reference, run memtest till:

a) Overnight

b) you get your 1st error

* Many manufacturers will allow you to keep the set and use your PC until the new set arrives, they will just need a credit card number to keep on file in case you welch on them :)
