I wanted a spooky spooky season but not like this

Oh no friend, do you have a gofundme?
No that’s OK I’m just going to sell the box for scrap metal and go live in the woods.
The best option!

Can’t you just add a kernel parameter to not use specific memory addresses?
🤷
You might have some luck reseating the ram after cleaning the contacts with isopropyl for single bit errors
If the errors are in the same address range everytime you can definitely reserve that address range in kernel parameters and nothing will be assigned there, you just lose a small amount of memory (Windows can do this too but I can’t remember the process)
Last ditch effort is to manually adjust your ram timings, take note of what tests your ram fails on because there will be a corresponding setting for certain issues, this is very time intensive though and requires days of memtesting
That’s an expensive fail

PC master race in 2030:
Tbf this is all kinds of fucky. 3x ddr4 is not a good start. Severly under clocked. The cas timings look very tight to me
47.8GB?
4 x 16GB but one of them is fully cooked and isn’t even recognised (leaving 48GB) another module is failing with errors.
They are also specced at 3200mhz but running at 1066 currently 🤷
Yeah, the time of death is a few years ago, they were cooked for a while…
Have you tried testing one module at a time at the original 3200?
Wait, are you running it with the dead stick in?
You should memtest each stick on its own. Change settings in BIOS to match the sticks advertised speed. You might have to toggle XMP/DOCP on or off. Probably check timings and voltage, too.
And you’re probably better off running 32 GB in dual channel mode. Unless you consistently use more than that, the extra speed is better than extra memory IMO.
If it’s two sticks having issues, check if they are on the same channel. You might actually be having issues with your cpu not being fully seated. I had a buddy who could only ever get two of four to work, and it was a bent pin on the mobo.
The cyberpunk reality will be computer users finding any way they can to keep their PCs running on an undernet disconnected from, but in parallel to, the CorpGov web. The latter is where you are tracked, monitored, monetized, ruled, caged, and where you own nothing but the CorpGov owns you. The former is an illegal hoard of history, media, software, 3d printing, and information disallowed on the main web.
No flying cars, no cyberpunk body parts, just people trying to keep from being controlled.
i mean my dad had a cool brain implant that significantly reduced his parkinsons symptoms. think neuralink but it actually works.
This happened to me earlier this year, my friend had some spare ram randomly. I should’ve started the RMA process, but I was too lazy, idk if I still can.
*ramdomly
I have heard tell of people having their warranties on RAM spuriously denied with the explicit justification that the replacement stick is “worth” 600% or whatever of what the original was and therefore the manufacturer can’t afford it. So I would not at all be surprised if you learned retroactively that you can’t. Of course, after already surrendering your RAM stick to the manufacturer.
I returned a memory card to Sandisk the other week, and I’m fully expecting the same result.
The downside, you’ve a stick of bad RAM.
Upside, DDR4 is easier to find for DDR5 if you need that slot back in action.
Downside, DDR4 has seen significant price hikes as well.
Upside, you have your pick of brand and style.
48 gb you naughty dog
It ain’t 64 GB DDR5 but it’s aight
What brand is it?
G.Skill has a lifetime (sometimes 7 years) warranty on their sticks and they honored mine when it failed almost 3 years after purchase.
They take the whole kit back though, so you’ll be ramless for about 2 weeks.
Wow, keep it together please, no reason to start posting hard horror like this just because its the season.
