1301572 2012-09-19 00:46:00 I would be concerned about a RAM fault... how many passes did memtest do, and presumably the windows 8 memory diagnostic returned no error? inphinity (7274)
1301573 2012-09-19 03:03:00 I only let the first memtest do 2 passes. 1st fail and 2nd pass.
Yep the windows memory diagnostic ran once and said no errors after it booted back into windows.

Should i run memtest for longer? How many passes is a good number?

One poster there suggests it may be a fault in the memory controller in the CPU.
I don't know how you could confirm that short of replacing the CPU.

Thats with the system as is. Might try removing each stick of ram to see if i get a pass...

1301577 2012-09-19 05:09:00 Yep I've RMA'd the ram. One stick caused errors in intel burn test and linx whereas the other stick passed perfectly fine.
Im stumped as to why memtest and windows memory diagnositc passed the faulty stick though...
