Hi all, I recently built a new desktop and it was working fine for a few days until a sudden freeze in the game. At first I did not think too much about hitting the restart button and that's how the situation deteriorated.
Long story short, now I'm trying to perform a clean installation of windows 10, but it will just hang up at the logo page and I would never able to enter the installation. The RAM was of course the first to suspect, so I ran memtest86+ overnight. It passed 8 times with 128 errors.
I contacted the Microsoft and the engineer was quite certain that the RAM was the culprit, so I asked for a replacement from Amazon. When the replacement arrived, I unplugged all the unnecessary units like front panel connection and extra SSD, then put the new RAM in and found that nothing changed. I did a new me test on the replacement RAM and surprisingly the errors still showed up, and it was the same 'test 7' (block move test) as before.
It is really confusing as I was just about to conclude that RAM is not the cause of my problem. On second thought, is there any possibility that the RAM slot is faulty? Thanks.
