Decoding Memtest86 Results.

icabass3 · Aug 29, 2015

Hello everyone, I just finished running memtest86 as a last resort, and I was going to ask if someone perhaps knew what these results mean.

Symptoms : Random BSOD's {Specifically bug codes: atikmdag.sys ; Paged_File_in blabla ; PFN_LIST Corrupt ; and the list goes on.

I have done this so far

New motherboard
New Ram
Tried different graphics cards
tried different graphic drivers
tried different versions of diretx
tried different versions of Microsoft c++ dist.
re-formatted windows several times
tried another HDD
tried a different SATA cable
tried a different SATA port
tried another PSU

So, as you can see I'm basically at the end of the line. I'm thinking maybe cpu memory controller?

Here are some pictures of the Memtest86 results

As always, any help is appreciated.

Are you running Memtest86 from CD or where? Is the CPU overclocked at all?

Memtest86 from a USB Flashdrive. No the CPU isn't overclocked. voltages are stock. dram speeds / timing haven been changed.

Start taking out RAM sticks 1 at a time until the error goes away or take them ALL out and run the test 1 stick at a time.

See a 4670K and 16GB of DRAM, what mobo and model #(s) of DRAM? What CPU cooler? Do you have the latest BIOS? Sounds like maybe a bad MC, could also be the CPU cooler if it's attached too tight in a corner or side

Happening on a GIGABYTE Z87-D3H AND a brand new Asus Z97A. Using Corsair Vengeance 16GB Kit. Model CMZ16GX3M4A1600C9. Corsair H60 Cooler. 750 Watt PSU. Both boards are running the latest BIOS.

If the memory controller is on the processor that was my thinking as well.

I have already done the 1 by 1 stick method on the Z87 Board. It BSOD'd whenever I added any stick of ram to the second RAM channel / dual channel slots.

Here, you can download the system perfmon /report files as well as Sysnative File collections on the minidump. For some reason, only one minidump is being displayed.

Might try loosening the H60 then snug it back down screw tight, if too snug in a corner or saide it can throw the CPU out of level which will affect the MC (but I think from the Sounds of it it is the MC in your CPU

sorry)

Alright, thanks guys! I'm running all of the sticks 1 by 1 through memtest86. Then I'll put a known good set of ram in the system. If they still come up bad in memtest86 I'll know it's the memory controller.
