    It's no guarantee that the RAM is the issue, but checking it is free, easy to do and worthwhile.

      Thanks for sharing this tips Mr. Sujano. Just wondering if you could help with this, so I have a gaming laptop which has recently started randomly rebooting. No errors. No BSODs. I can game just fine but shuts off after a while. The intervals on when they shut off is very erratic.
      Thermals are good, SSD is good, Power adapter is working just fine nothing abnormal. Would you say that this is possibly a fault with the ram? Thanks for the response.

      @MrSujano i have the same ram with you. G Skill Ripjaws. Quite often a blue schreen shows up (bsod) and it restart my pc automatically. I had a memory diagnosis
      on windows and it says "your computer has a memory problem". What should i do in this case?

    This was informative. Too bad TH-cam didn't populate your video, but I suspected it was the ram and I removed them after hours of thinking it was a bad install of windows and swapped HDD. After removing the ram modules, it did fix the blue screen of death 😱. I bought this gaming laptop from Facebook marketplace glad I bought it at good price. Waiting to see if Corsair will replace it since they too have lifetime warranty. If not, I believe ram capacity is already maxed out anyways not sure why they added more?

    I was getting these Memory Managements and System Service Exception BSODs for months and ignored them until a few days ago when my PC could not boot into Windows without a crash, and if it did, no icons would show up and if I clicked the desktop or taskbar it would immediately crash every time. My C Drive became corrupted and I could not startup repair, reset my PC or even reinstall windows without error even after formatting the drive. At one point it did a full Windows reinstall on the drive but I could not open the start menu, settings, or the taskbar icons in the bottom right.
    I installed a new SSD, formatted it, partitioned correctly and it was STILL failing to reinstall windows or even reset. Reseating the RAM did not work. What fixed it was me taking out one of my 2 sticks of RAM, and attempting to reinstall again on the new freshly formatted SSD. Went smooth for the most part but had to do one last PC reset because a Cumulative update refused to install. Except for the C Drive and the small programs I put on there, all of my info on my other drives were saved. With my PC back up and running I ran memtest86 on the RAM stick I took out and it found over 15,000 errors in less then 15 minutes. Ordered a new set of RAM expeditiously.
    Moral of the story: If you start getting these BSODs consistently, do not ignore them lol. Run a memtest overnight and see how it holds up, also it's nice to have multiple drives instead of one big C Drive just in case the C Drive gets corrupted somehow, or at least get an external hard drive to back everything up to. Hope this helps anyone because for a while I thought my PC was bricked.

    I too am having similar issues to Local Goblin. Pc works fine with 16gb ram at 3600mhz but becomes unstable with 32gb at 3200mhz. Each stick memtest86 fine at default bios speeds, then when booted into windows with both full 32gbs ram at the rated 3200mhz, screen flashes and PC restarts. Put the 16gb 3600mhz back no issues. Ideas? Corsair has yet to get back to me on this.

    My RAM just died. It was only 2 years old. Model Corsair Vegenance LPX 2x8GB DDR4 3200Mhz. On old PC I had Kingston Fury 4x4GB DDR3 1600Mhz and it works flawlessly for over 7 years. I cannot recommend going Corsair for RAM, there has been many issues on reddit with Corsair DDR4 RAM units.

    I have been having this weird freezing issues and blue screen of deaths. Then today I decided to clean my PC and dust it out. When I turned it back on suddenly DRAM led was on. Then I found out that one of the sticks is not working anymore. I tried re seating for more than 9 times and I guess its dead. I tried the hci mem test on the remaining stick and it has found no errors. Guess I'll be running my rig for 8gb for 1 month until the other ram stick arrives.😅

    Hey man! Thank you for the great video. There's got to be an easier way to diagnose which ram card is faulty vs trying and testing one at a time. Doesn't it mention what DIMM slot or ram card is having an error specifically? I have 4 ram cards so it's going to be a pain to diagnose it one at a time.

    Idk but ever since I got a new set of ram "2x16(32gb) 3600" I tried to switch the frequency to 3600 and I kept getting bsod whenever I'm either browsing or gaming. I also turned it back down to 3200 and had the same issue. I even switched them both and continue to change the frequency speed, but nope still bsod. NOW I actually just decided to maybe set the ram frequency to "auto" and I haven't had any issues regarding the ram. I also reinstalled the GPU drivers just in case. Any ideas on why I'm not able to use more frequency? I have an intro i7 11th gen.

  • @Confused_Philosopher
    @Confused_Philosopher ปีที่แล้ว +3

    This is stupid. Windows has it's own memory diagnostic called and you guessed it windows memory diagnostic. After you run it, it will immediately let you know there is a memory problem. Afterward you are going to have to do what this guy does. Take all the ram out and put 1 stick and and run the diagnostic again. repeat for each stick and you will find one hopefully bad stick of ram but make sure you test all sticks. If all your ram is good then one of the ram slots has a pin problem. Clean out the slot with electronics cleaner then use and air cleaner and hopefully the problem is gone.

    ..... if i keep playing (program monitor attatched) and i see pagefile go up to 19gb, and stay there... it will BSOD gauranteed... might take 1 minute, might take 30 minutes, hour... whatever it will BSOD..
    so it happens... then windows refuses to work.. it will bsod upon startup..
    one time starting up before it bsods out, in the corner it says "not authentic copy of windows" ..... im like wtf.... unbelievable....
    after the 5th 6th startup and BSOD i believe its the OS hardrive taking a shit..... and roll my eyes, becasuse its just so darn fun getting a new drive, partition wipe, install os... such fun.... but i get an idea... i know one of my sticks (in CPU-z) is marked 11/10... so its very fckn old...

    Can your motherboard be a cause for blue screens? I tested both my rams on my friend's PC for a week it was fine and I use it on mine and it runs for a few mins and then blue screens. I changed my hard disk, still blue screen. I changed power supply, still the same. Screen flickers and then blue screen. So I used different graphic card and monitor, still the same problem. Only things left is motherboard and processor. So I thought maybe the processor may be heating up, but it wasn't. I wasn't even running any games. So there's no heat issues, scanned my PC for viruses, found nothing. I don't have extra motherboard or processor to test it, do you think motherboard may be the culprit? I even installed fresh windows 10, still blue screen. Nothing seems to help.
