Hello everyone,
I have been having a very frustrating problem. I will start from the beginning. My original Ram I had in my custom built PC started causing hundreds of BSODS. Like I mean a BSOD every 5 minutes. At first I couldn't figure out why but after having to completely wipe my computer and start from square 1 I found that my left side RAM stick had about 1 million errors on memtest. So like normal, I replaced and upgraded it. Bought new Corsair vengeance RAM and plugged it in ready to go. 4 days later, BSODS started, and the left RAM stick was throwing millions of errors again. So next I bought a power supply tester and tested my voltage output. Everything came up fine which tells me its not the power supply. So i bought a new motherboard and new RAM, thinking it was the motherboard slot causing the problem since it was always the left side stick. installed new motherboard and everything was going fine. then about 3 days later same thing. the left side stick went bad. Currently I am running just the one stick of the Corsair vengeance 8gb in the right side of the motherboard while i wait for my RMA to complete and after a full day of use it has not gone bad yet. I am really at a loss on what would cause only certain RAM sticks to go bad on two separate motherboards. Also it does not matter is i move the stick to A1 or A2, it goes bad. Yet the sticks in B1 and B2 are perfectly fine. Also when i took apart the computer i checked the CPU and i did not see any bent pins or anything. Thank you for your time and any support you can give me. Thank you.
