I just ran memtestx86 and on the first pass it stops and gives me 23 errors...I dont know where to look to see what error code to give anyone or why it has errors...my cmos was set to default settings...I was reading on here and someone said to set memory to XMP and set it to 1600mhz because the default was set at 1067...i tried that and still have the same 23 errors....I then ran windows memory diagnostics and didnt recieve any errors i ran this on both settings and everything was fine...I haven't had any system crashes..everything seems to be running good....I ran 3d mark vantage a million times never crashed once...everything is stock cooled...temp is 35-40 at idle and 50-55 under heavy load...nothing is overclocked either...any suggestions or ideas or can someone tell me how to read the memtestx86 results...once it stops I cant do anything I have to restart computer....it only runs for like 10 seconds....totally new to this so sorry I'm not really sure what I'm doing...lol

Dimm voltage?


I'm not sure where it says the dimm voltage...it is set at whatever the stock cmos has it at...I've never messed with it...I'm running prime 95 now for the past 2 hours and not one error....i will check the bios in a little bit and see if i can find the dimm voltage....

the voltage on the dimms is set to auto at 1.0650 v. I just ran prime 95 for about 3 hours and intel burn on extreme stress for 12 passes...completed in about 45 minutes....and passed everything....maybe i'm just not using the memtest x86 right....i burned the iso file let it run at boot...it says 5% then at the bottom right it has 1-8 or something and pass 0 has 23 errors...idk....everything seems stable to me....if it passed intel burn from what ive read about it I think im just not going to worry about it....I might run prime 95 over night and see what happens....

Well is 1.0650v what your ram manufacturer recommends?
