Big question - can this work on laptop with soldered GPU? I have tried on Lenovo Legion with a GTX 960M but the test itself not going on - stays on "standard input" and nothing happens. I do tons of laptops on my channel.
Hi Daniel, nice channel! I really don't know, haven't tried it on laptops yet. All bad video memory on laptops I get heats like crazy, so I use thermal camera for diagnostics usually. But I think the way mobile chip-sets work with discrete video GPU/memory is quite different from desktop. So I would guess it will no work without a LOT of re-configuring. Try this python script method th-cam.com/video/UVi_UAc6L6M/w-d-xo.html&t . It should work as long as video memory is initialized (by bios or linux driver).
so what should I use to really find any errors on my gtx 970? First I used mats -e 5 |less just like you, and it showed me some errors, I tried it again and there were no errors, then I tried mats -20 and no errors, so why there were errors in the first try? What parameters should I use to make sure my card is working properly?
Does not work on 3070. Running mats -h gives "This card is not recognized, Error Code = 00000003" I heard people also had no success with their 3090. Hence, I think it won't work for any 30 series cards.
If you are curious on what happened to my card, I tried thermal gluing copper pads to the vram to replace the original thermal putties. I quickly regret doing this while tried to teardown my card again - the thermal glue was too strong and I had to use razer blade to cut open the glue. While cutting I accidently destroyed two tiny capacitors near the bottom vram bank. Since then games textures occasionally turns mosaic and I knew it's because of the missing capacitors. I never knew the capacitor size so I ordered various sizes and tried soldering them back. That's why I need similar tools to test if I've fixed my card or not.
I managed to get mods installed on a flash drive using e2b but i was having trouble with the commands in the console. Totally forgot about the PDF documentation. Lol. Thanks for the guide!
Correction: PCIe slot orientation has nothing to do with VRAM bank order. On some cards (Zotac, etc.), the GPU is oriented sideways. Just look at the lettering on the GPU. With the card turned so the GPU lettering is upright, your memory channels start at the bottom right and run counterclockwise. Another note, Tech Cemetery shows how to rig up a "headless" MATS flash drive that boots, automatically runs the MATS test, saves the log, and turns off the computer when it's done. Don't need a secondary display adapter.
I tested my Zotac GTX 570 and the results of the memories are shown to me in a different way, in most of the videos that I watch they are always shown in order A1, A0, B1, B0 ... But in the result of my Zotac it is It shows me in order FBI0C 31, FBIOC 63, FBI0D 31, FBI0D 63 ... And I don't know how to identify them on the board.
Can I run MATS on a Nvidia card that does not show video output, but when Is secondary card in the system, it shows up? Card is detected in device manager, but with error 43. (RTX2080Ti).
From what I've heard all cards with memory chips prior to 8YA77 & 8ZA77 are bad (for 20 series) Check gpuZ while in windows for your card. If you can't see bandwidth, bus and pixel fill rate, GPU is either kill or bios is corrupted If your mem passes mats and isn't dead you can try flashing the bios. If that doesn't work core prob dead This is based on things I've read of forums and repair chatrooms

Hello I ran the test on a faulty GTX 970 that gives black screen First few boots I got a PASS I tried again the screen went black so I had to check the report.txt file I got errors in seven memory chips out of eight. Third time I got PASS again and the screen stayed on. What could that be? bad BIOS chip or clock chip?
if you get errors after PASS, it means chips warmed up and produced error. Replace all chips. All at once since you have so many. Otherwise if you had one chip, you need to replace it with one that matches (more or less matches) the resistance with the rest. You measure memory chip pads power and ground pins for resistance. Chip with 10 or less ohms, garbage. The range is rather wild. Working chip can be anywhere from 10 ohms to 10k 🤨
@@tonycstech Actually it wasn't the memory chips, there were 4 high side Mosfets. I replaced them, took 4 out from an old graphics card that I had that luckily had almost the same spec Mosfets and the card worked perfectly for about 7 hours, but they also shorted due to the Gate Driver if I'm not mistaken, and there something very strange about these Drivers, which is when I precisely spray a small amount of contact cleaner on the related Gate Driver the short is gone and the resistance of the Mosfet gradually gets back to normal, but when I tried to power the card again the short is back. I did that about 3 times and the short goes away every time with the contact cleaner on the Gate Driver. How can that happen? Does that mean the Gate Driver is faulty as well?
The gate of a mosfet acts like a capacitor and will remain charged if there's no path to discharge it. When the gate is charged the mosfet should show a short circuit between source and drain. If you discharge the gate it should show an open circuit. You can charge/discharge the gate using the leads of your meter. That makes mosfets quite confusing to measure. It looks like yours are behaving as expected.
Will mats work with out a single memory chip ? Just to test if GPU is working and see if error report is generated, indicating that GPU is likely functional.

Is there a way to change on which GPU to run mods and mats ? Without doing it through bios?. My bios does not have advanced settings, where you would normally do this.
In './mods gputest.jes -skip_rm_state_init -mfg' command, i get the following error message: "Erro Code 229 hardware was not initialized". "File gp107_f.xml not found". Would mats not be compatible with this gpu? Galax 1050.
I had no problems running everything from GTX950 to 1080 with 367.38.1 version. But only as a primary cards. There could also be motherboard issue (MATS refuses to work on some H81 - H87 chipsets).
It's hard to tell as there is no official support list as you can imagine. These architectures has a lot of mobile gpu's that I haven't encountered, but most desktop ones should work.

Hi, Thank you for a wonderful video. I have followed your video to diagnose my card. First, I would like to make sure that I have saved the mats file in the default note++ format. I do not know what extension shall I use for Linux. When I boot I get ( net ok/mods ok/bash ok/net.lo ok/hostname ok/syslogf ok/mount ok) then " system going down now" - sigterm to all processors-system power off! Do you know what could the problem be? could it be that the mats file format is not correct? Thank you in advance :)
My GTX 1060 does not show video and my i3 10100f does not have integrated video, when I turn on the PC with USB after 30 seconds, the PC just shuts down, I check the USB and there is no "report.txt" file,
You helped me a lot with using that tool but I'm not sure how to understand the results in my case.. I mean - I have GTX1080Ti that is recognised by PC when I put it as second card but gives 43 windows error. If I try to start PC only with this card, it just restarts after 10s, no display at all. I measured 1,39V on memory and 0,8V on GPU, whole card draws 2,8A so it's fine. Mats test says that there are read and write errors on every memory bank except for one that is free on PCB - is it possible? Or GPU is dead?
Hello. After the test it reports that memory module C1 has errors, but the error counts are pretty low. It has only 33 errors. I crank up the ammount of memory to diagnose from 20megs to 100 megs and number of errors stayed the same. Have any experience with that low memory error counts? Am i making some msitake with MATS or the chip (and/or surrounding) is bad?
Mine has 33 errors as well, I'm sure it's a false positive or something because I had no reason to test my card as it's rock solid with no artefacts, I was just testing the program. I found on forum this "There is a hypothesis that the issuance of 33 errors on work cards may be due to the fact that during the test the memory that contains the screen buffer (or something else related to the output to the screen), which, in addition to the test, is somehow used by the system itself simultaneously with the test. That is, it can be a "false alarm"."
@@iliasads3817 Yes, I think many agree that the test is just trying to test the area of memory already in use by the screen buffer (The area used to show you the test on screen). This doesn't seem happen on every card but many agree its a false alarm.
@@Adrian_Finn Unfortunately in my case I have artifacting and freeze when the drivers initialize. There's definitely a problem, I was hoping it was a memory bank but the low error count probably means there is something else wrong. Also, is there some forum to find resources about this? I am searching but nothing comes up
try checking your motherboards boot settings, likely its trying to boot legacy or uefi from your stick (whichever type it is NOT configured to). that's what caused it for me on an ASUS Board.
try "./ mats -n 1 -e 5 |less" (PIPE '|' is important, its not a ':', though it almost looks like it in the video) (make sure you are running of igpu and only have the NVIDIA card in a PCIe slot when using -n 1 parameter
@@des8249 if you are getting errors on ALL chips, try a lower memory amount, i noticed many cards get errors on all chips if the amount tested is too high. alternatevily there is three possibilities: 1. all your chips are dead 2. a voltage needed for them or the controller is missing 3. your memory controller in the GPU is defective. ( a combination of the 3 is also always possible, if a highside MOFET in the voltage Regulation ciruit fried)
Hi everyone! Great video but unfortunately i can't boot in MS-DOS because there is no legacy bios support on my laptop. Is there any alternative or other way to boot so i can test VRam chips ! I'm open fo advicees. Thanks
Hi, thank you very much for this video, it is a very important software in which its use is not very simple, thank you! I wanted to ask a question. good parts of the cards I have here, gtx 1000, when it reads the memory with error. Is it usually in writing, when there is a problem with reading, and in all modules, is the reading problem with the GPU, modules or PCB?
Oh dear How Complicatet is this? I was Hoping it is easy like memtest… in dont want to figure this Codes out i want an ready use lise i have only to Type… and than i want to now what is wrong without dismount the Card…
Hi, I have problems with my GPU. I think it is a memorry error. I have RTX 2080 TI and I need to run a 400.184 version of MODS(MATS). I have some files from web but they are very different then 367.38.1 version. I can't run it in the LINUX :/ Can you make tutorial how to do it with 400.184?
I don't get an output from my gtx 1050ti so I installed it as second graphics card and used a gtx 550ti to test. After the command ". /mods testgpu.js -skip_rm_state_init - mfg" my monitor loses signal and goes black. I just typed in the next command anyways without seeing and hit the enter key. After some times I switched off the pc and after rebooting I got a report for my 5mb test. It didn't show errors. So I wanted to test for a bit longer and tried with 50mb. I let it run for like 20 min before rebooting. But this time my report file was empty. Did I do something wrong or does it just take really long to test with 50mb? And why does my monitor go black?
When I run ” ./mats -e 5 “ I get “this card is not recognized “ error code =00000003 even tho am displaying using hdmi cable output to my monitor help me please ?
if you have onboard graphics processor, example; intel hd graphics .... this software is first looking onboard and not recognize another card. please try "./mods gputest.js -skip_rm_state_init -mfg" and use ./mats -e 5 :less command. if you dont see fault on results, try only booting test result

Trying to test a GTX 1050, get a Error 000000000229 Hardware was not initialized. Any ideas what this means? Edit: Nevermind. Seems it didnt like the HP motherboard. Tried it on an MSI board and tests worked. Weird thing is, I know the card doesnt work properly yet passes the tests! 😕
Hello friend! Very nice content, i am trying to know witch memory chips have issues on my zotac 2080ti (space invaders after installing driver), but when i run MATS, version 400.184, i got on the first line "RM unavailable - won't test TULIT2 frame-buffer upper memory". Besides that, all goes exactly as your video, except that i got 0 erros, witch is kind of impossible. Do you know what is this RM unavailable, or what i am doing wrong?
@@Th3WaQAr I didn't, my guess is for this kind of problem, MATS does't work. I tried reflow on 3 memory chips, and after that 2 got heat damage and then MATS show's them. But this was something completely different.

Is there a way to change on which GPU to run mods and mats ? Without doing it through bios?. My bios does not have advanced settings, where you would normally do this.
Hello sir. I wanna ask, why the folder 367.38.1 didn't show when i type "ls"?
Did you unzip 367.38.1.tgz?
@@mareksz6525 thank bro. At last i can running it with unzip the .tgz file.
Where is everyone finding this software ?
In './mods gputest.jes -skip_rm_state_init -mfg' command, i get the following error message: "Erro Code 229 hardware was not initialized". "File gp107_f.xml not found". Would mats not be compatible with this gpu? Galax 1050.
I had no problems running everything from GTX950 to 1080 with 367.38.1 version. But only as a primary cards. There could also be motherboard issue (MATS refuses to work on some H81 - H87 chipsets).
Yes. My motherboard:PCWARE IPMH81G1. I was only able to run the test successfully after disabling the integrated Intel Processor Graphics. Thank you!
@@mvtechlabs4943 Kepler and Fermi chips work with this mats?
It's hard to tell as there is no official support list as you can imagine. These architectures has a lot of mobile gpu's that I haven't encountered, but most desktop ones should work.
Why didn't you show where to download it from?
can i use it even if the gpu not detected ? the fan spinning, the gpu no display after artifacting
Software please
The AUTOEXEC file has got bunch of extra stuff, do I delete it or what?:

Hi what thermal camera do you suggest? I bought ht 102 but its terrible
Seek Thermal Compact does the job for me. If you have more $$$ to spend - then Thermal Expert TE-M1 is a really good step up.
all seem defective vram , could there be another problem? the driver is artifact when I enable it
note: i changed the gpu
hepsi bozuk görünmez aslında bunun hatası hiç bozuk göstermemesi, elle komut yazmadan önce program bir defa açılışta tarama yapıyor ramlere.
mods klasörünün altında reports.txt diye bir dosyaya atıyor oradaki sonuçları kontrol edebilirsin
@@Syzop Hocam merhaba, mats çalışıp sonucu ekranda gösteriyor. Flashı cekip başka bilgisayarda kontrol ettiğimde report.txt içi boş gözüyor. Test sonrasında report.txt yi save almak için yazılacak bir kod varmı yada ne yapmak lazım.Bazen kaydediyor bazen kaydetmiyor sonuçları reporr.txt nin içine?
@@gkhngvr hocam merhaba, o programda 2 tane report.txt dosyası var biri doğru biri yanlış çünkü ikinci kontrolde ramlerde veri olduğu için yazmıyor bir nevi askıda bıraktığı için sağlam gösteriyor.
Aslında açılışta kendisi bir test yapıyor onu mods klasörünün içine atıyor report.txt olarak doğrusu bu, biz elle ./mats uyguladığımızda 368. klasörünün içine bir tane daha report.txt gösteriyor o elle yaptığımız sorgu ve içi boş oluyor dolu olsa da ramleri sağlam gösteriyor.
en doğru yol ise başlatmadan önce mods klasörünün içindeki reports.txt dosyasını silip boot edip testi kendisinin bitirmesini bekledikten sonra normal bilgisayarda açıp kontrol etmek
bir de ek olarak, onboard ekran kartı var ise test hata verecektir, onboard grafik işlemciden görüntü veren anakart veya işlemci kullanmayın yalnızca test edeceğiniz kart olsun.
kartta hiç görüntü olmasa bile anakart 35 saniye sonra karttan görüntü vermez ama sistemi açar flash bellekte ışık varsa okuduğunu oradan anlarsınız, normal boot edin görüntü gelmese de 5 dakika bekleyip flash belleği normal bilgisayara takın report dosyasına bakın farklı bir sorun yoksa oluşturmuştur
If there are vram on both side, how to locate the ram chip?
two counts as one, example; your result is number 4 vram is broken, the fourth row front and rear vram will change
MATS download link please
I found the faulty VRam bank , it was b1 so the third one , where can i find a replacement ? should i just find a graphics card w 1 gb a module and GDDR5 and thats it ? or does it involve clock speed and other thing ?
you read the chip model of the chip and order from china
And how to count when we have VRAM on both sides of the PCB?
A1 on top is A1 on bottom. So it's 50/50. I usually replace both.

Hi, Thank you for a wonderful video. I have followed your video to diagnose my card. First, I would like to make sure that I have saved the mats file in the default note++ format. I do not know what extension shall I use for Linux. When I boot I get ( net ok/mods ok/bash ok/net.lo ok/hostname ok/syslogf ok/mount ok) then " system going down now" - sigterm to all processors-system power off! Do you know what could the problem be? could it be that the mats file format is not correct? Thank you in advance :)
My GTX 1060 does not show video and my i3 10100f does not have integrated video, when I turn on the PC with USB after 30 seconds, the PC just shuts down, I check the USB and there is no "report.txt" file,
where can i download mats iso file?
hi could this work for a laptopo with Rtx 2070 max-q?
You helped me a lot with using that tool but I'm not sure how to understand the results in my case.. I mean - I have GTX1080Ti that is recognised by PC when I put it as second card but gives 43 windows error. If I try to start PC only with this card, it just restarts after 10s, no display at all. I measured 1,39V on memory and 0,8V on GPU, whole card draws 2,8A so it's fine. Mats test says that there are read and write errors on every memory bank except for one that is free on PCB - is it possible? Or GPU is dead?
GPU is def dead
Can we overclock the memory in the test, I have a memory that gives an error when overclocking. I want to know who it is :) Thanks
so it only can be done running on linux?
help with rtx 30xx memory test, this is not working
Hello. After the test it reports that memory module C1 has errors, but the error counts are pretty low. It has only 33 errors. I crank up the ammount of memory to diagnose from 20megs to 100 megs and number of errors stayed the same. Have any experience with that low memory error counts? Am i making some msitake with MATS or the chip (and/or surrounding) is bad?
that's an error with the memory contact most of the time, just reflow that vram bank and it should work
Mine has 33 errors as well, I'm sure it's a false positive or something because I had no reason to test my card as it's rock solid with no artefacts, I was just testing the program. I found on forum this "There is a hypothesis that the issuance of 33 errors on work cards may be due to the fact that during the test the memory that contains the screen buffer (or something else related to the output to the screen), which, in addition to the test, is somehow used by the system itself simultaneously with the test. That is, it can be a "false alarm"."
similar situation here, did you find what was wrong?
@@iliasads3817 Yes, I think many agree that the test is just trying to test the area of memory already in use by the screen buffer (The area used to show you the test on screen). This doesn't seem happen on every card but many agree its a false alarm.
@@Adrian_Finn Unfortunately in my case I have artifacting and freeze when the drivers initialize. There's definitely a problem, I was hoping it was a memory bank but the low error count probably means there is something else wrong.
Also, is there some forum to find resources about this? I am searching but nothing comes up
Is it working with agp nvidia cards too?

try checking your motherboards boot settings, likely its trying to boot legacy or uefi from your stick (whichever type it is NOT configured to). that's what caused it for me on an ASUS Board.
Great video! Anyone knows what to do when the test stucks at some point? I tried to skip the stucking test but then my computer just restarts.

I tried running my gpu on ./mats -n 1 -e 5:less but it gave me unsupported dram page size. Do u have any solution for it
try "./ mats -n 1 -e 5 |less" (PIPE '|' is important, its not a ':', though it almost looks like it in the video) (make sure you are running of igpu and only have the NVIDIA card in a PCIe slot when using -n 1 parameter
@@electronicloop-de Just like to say thanks so much!!! This was so helpful. I managed to run it but my 1080ti had rd err across all its memory chips..
@@des8249 if you are getting errors on ALL chips, try a lower memory amount, i noticed many cards get errors on all chips if the amount tested is too high. alternatevily there is three possibilities: 1. all your chips are dead 2. a voltage needed for them or the controller is missing 3. your memory controller in the GPU is defective. ( a combination of the 3 is also always possible, if a highside MOFET in the voltage Regulation ciruit fried)
How i can do to boot mats from the bios? Like i said i got no video
yeah..couldn't find a download path

Hi, I have problems with my GPU. I think it is a memorry error. I have RTX 2080 TI and I need to run a 400.184 version of MODS(MATS). I have some files from web but they are very different then 367.38.1 version. I can't run it in the LINUX :/ Can you make tutorial how to do it with 400.184?
Hey, I have a similar issue. Have you found a solution?
I don't get an output from my gtx 1050ti so I installed it as second graphics card and used a gtx 550ti to test. After the command ". /mods testgpu.js -skip_rm_state_init - mfg" my monitor loses signal and goes black. I just typed in the next command anyways without seeing and hit the enter key. After some times I switched off the pc and after rebooting I got a report for my 5mb test. It didn't show errors. So I wanted to test for a bit longer and tried with 50mb. I let it run for like 20 min before rebooting. But this time my report file was empty. Did I do something wrong or does it just take really long to test with 50mb? And why does my monitor go black?
When I run ” ./mats -e 5 “ I get “this card is not recognized “ error code =00000003 even tho am displaying using hdmi cable output to my monitor help me please ?
if you have onboard graphics processor, example; intel hd graphics .... this software is first looking onboard and not recognize another card.
please try "./mods gputest.js -skip_rm_state_init -mfg" and use ./mats -e 5 :less command.
if you dont see fault on results, try only booting test result
Where the hell do I get 455 MATS MODS can anyone tell me? Can't seem to find a download link, everything look suspicious
Ich habe alles so gemacht wie du sagtest. Es bootet vom pendrive aber MODS/MATS startet nicht sondern bleibt mit der Zeile /mnt/nv/mods stehen und wartet. (Kurzor blinkt)
Ab da musst du mit den Befehlen "ls" und "cd" arbeiten, um dich in den Ordnern zu navigieren.
Hi I have a Errorr message with : PCI Express Bus Error ( 000000000143) Can You Help What is that ? :)
I have same problem
Trying to test a GTX 1050, get a Error 000000000229 Hardware was not initialized. Any ideas what this means? Edit: Nevermind. Seems it didnt like the HP motherboard. Tried it on an MSI board and tests worked. Weird thing is, I know the card doesnt work properly yet passes the tests! 😕
Then it's your motherboard i guess
Hello friend! Very nice content, i am trying to know witch memory chips have issues on my zotac 2080ti (space invaders after installing driver), but when i run MATS, version 400.184, i got on the first line "RM unavailable - won't test TULIT2 frame-buffer upper memory". Besides that, all goes exactly as your video, except that i got 0 erros, witch is kind of impossible. Do you know what is this RM unavailable, or what i am doing wrong?
Hi, did you figure it out? Thanks please let me know
@@Th3WaQAr I didn't, my guess is for this kind of problem, MATS does't work. I tried reflow on 3 memory chips, and after that 2 got heat damage and then MATS show's them. But this was something completely different.
I got MODS/MATS from github. I am a good tech but this looks scary on a $4K card. I will have to work up a DOS boot disc if it will run under DOS. No jigs or setups, so in the machine. 😊😊
When I try to run mods I get "error 467 no such file or directory"
No clue what I'm doing wrong
Mats works fine
How did u fix it?
@@csPinKie no clue tbh
@@userEXEFire i know how. You need to extract the archive document via command line in the linus sys after that you can run memtest
