  • Ideapad 3 (15) resets (reboots) randomly when is charged
    But now I think I've found the source of the problem. I've been using memtest (this app) to see if there is a problem with the ram, and checking cpu temperatures with Core Temp if there was an overheating problem. And everything looks normal, the laptop didn't reset, there was no blue screen and the screen didn't go black... Until I plugged the charger cuz the batery was running out and then the laptop goes black... Source: 10 months ago
  • RAM issue
    Use this piece of software to test out your ram. Try running it for a few hours or overnight, you shouldn't get any error's even if you run it for days. Try one stick at a time to check if they are fine. Source: 11 months ago
  • Can someone help me with this?
    Run a ram stress test, ram error's tend to be very unpredictable and could be the cause of this(I use this). Source: 11 months ago
  • I need Help finding additional RAM set that "works well" with my current RAM.
    You can run stress tests on the memory to see if there are any instability issues. I like HCI Memtest because it's so darn simple, https://hcidesign.com/memtest/, but there are better options that are a bit more involved. MemTest86, I believe (haven't used it in ages). Source: 11 months ago
  • Issue with ram but can't find which stick
    I'm using the following memtest to troubleshoot: https://hcidesign.com/memtest/. Source: 12 months ago
  • lol swapping ram out and get a speed boost.
    I don't see why not! Run a mem test. I use HCI MemTest. It's old, but fairly reliable. https://hcidesign.com/memtest/. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Something is Bottlenecking my GPU
    Okay. IMHO an updated Motherboard BIOS seems reasonable, unless you wan't to switch to Intel or premium AM5, and Asus, Gigabyte and MSI (MSI live update) have software that search for newer GPU BIOS versions, also called ROMs, and Install and flash them if you want it (some cards can have 1 or 2 updated versions). For power color, XFX or Sapphire I do not know if they have software for it but Techpowerup has a... Source: over 1 year ago
  • Pc randomly hangs (memory fault?)
    Download this and run it for a while. If there are no errors its not your ram. Source: over 1 year ago
  • RX Vega 10 display driver crashes on GPU load
    Ah yes, this was a good intuition. I ran memtest in windows, it was spitting out errors after half a minute and the display crashes soon after that. Opening the laptop is easy but unfortunately the memory is soldered on this thin and light. Source: almost 2 years ago
  • Infinity Fabric wear over time on Ryzen. No longer capable of getting even 3600MT/s RAM stable with 1:1 FCLK after 3 years.
    It crashes with any stress test, and a few games he's tried playing this last week. Also including AIDA64 as well, but last I watched his video he used this https://hcidesign.com/memtest/. Source: almost 2 years ago
  • i9-10900k with Crucial Ballistix 3200 MHz DDR4 DRAM (timing question)
    If you don't want to mess with memory timings, you should be able to set the DRAM voltage from 1.35v to 1.42v up to 1.45v if you feel comfortable. Make sure you adjust the actual memory voltage, not something else. That should cause no degradation, or temperature problems. Then you can start by setting frequency to 3600mhz without changing timings. Do some memory tests. I recommend this memtest... Source: about 2 years ago
  • New to PC, need help
    Make sure you're on the latest firmware for your motherboard. Also enable XMP if you didn't already do so. Check for memory stability with (e.g. Memtest in Windows or Memtest in DOS). Source: about 2 years ago
  • Hey guys so I keep getting memory related BSOD even after reinstall of windows.
    If anyone is still looking for a fix, it is RAM related. Install and run this: https://hcidesign.com/memtest/. If you get even 1 error, then one of your RAM is bad. Take out all of your RAM sticks and inspect them for any physical damage. One of them must be damaged. Take that one out and plug the rest back in, and you'll be good to go. Source: about 2 years ago
  • Computer shuts down when too many tabs are open.
    Run memtest for an hour, it should give zero errors. https://hcidesign.com/memtest/ from a fresh restart with nothing else running (or the bootable memtest86 is probably better). Source: over 2 years ago
  • Few questions about upgrading my PC from 2700x to 5950x /
    Go run like memtest with 8 instances of 3 to 3.5gb for at least an hour. Check if it's not the RAM that's fried first. I wouldn't even replace the RAM if that's ok. Not worth upgrading if it's fine. Source: over 2 years ago
  • RAM Timings and MHz struggle. (Help needed)
    For memory and stability testing, I recommend HCI MemTest instead of the outdated program recommended in the above article. Source: over 2 years ago
  • Windows 10 equivalent to Memory Pressure.
    Another bench of quality is stability. This is where you can check to see if your memory is running without errors. I use karhu which is not free. Another is HCImemtest which does the same job only slower. Source: over 2 years ago
  • forza horizon 4 crash at start
    I used https://hcidesign.com/memtest/ when I was having memory errors. It helped me see I was getting errors on one of my sticks that I was able to correct my lowering my overclock. Source: over 2 years ago
  • Lately LOW Performing PC
    Whoops, got the different memtest versions mixed up, thought about this one- https://hcidesign.com/memtest/. Source: almost 3 years ago
  • 8GB 3200 MHZ single stick or 16GB two stick 2400 MHZ?
    This is the best memory test from my experience: Https://hcidesign.com/memtest/. Source: almost 3 years ago
  • BL2K8G32C16U4WL - 3800mhz @16-18-19-18-36 (66.7ns down from 76.5ns xmp) MemTest while playing Genshin Impact
    Then test using HCI MemTest while browsing and playing some games. Source: almost 3 years ago
