Not too long ago I was having problem with copying files to any external and corruption would occur. I thought I fixed the issue but it reared it's ugly head again and I finally did a memtest and got 6 passes and 5 fails all on test 5.
Image of the errors and addresses that were shown.
Normally I would just contact Corsair for an RMA but I no longer have the receipt and the place I bought them for are bust so I can't even get another receipt.
The computer runs fine but I suspect it's causing my browser to crash when open for several hours, the copy/paste problem is awful and very rarely a crash will happen not even giving a BSOD.
Is there anything at all I can do to salvage this mess or am I just going to have to bite the bullet and pay crazy prices for replacement RAM? Perhaps just keep going with what I have now and wait hope for the prices to go down. I'm not made of money and paying x2-3 times what I should does not sit well with me.
CPU: i5 4960K
Motherboard: MSI Z97
Ram: Corsair DDR3 CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9 2x4 GB
SSD/HDD: SSD Sandisk 240GB, Western Digital Blue 1TB x2
GPU: MSI RX480 8GB
PSU: Corsair TX 650W v2 (oldest part in my rig, already been RMA'd once in the past)
Chassis: Fractal Design Define r4
OS: Windows 7 with SP1
I updated the bios and other motherboard drivers not too long ago but the problems were before this. This RAM I isn't the first in this machine I had a pair of Corsair XMS3 2x2 GB.
