1301562 2012-09-17 08:35:00 Hey there, just bought a new comp and installed windows 8.
However a few mins into running it, an error popped up.
Its not exactly this error, but looks similar. The error being related to 'memory management'
www.eightforums.com

So i decided to run a memory test. And this was the result.

However i ran it again, this time no errors. I ran the original memtest86 and no errors. I also ran the windows memory test with no errors.

So what i'm wondering now is what were those first errors? Is my ram actually faulty?
Thanks

Forgot to add specs
i5 3570k stock
2x 4gb corsair vengeance ddr3 1600 ram
Asus P8Z77-V
Asus GTX660ti
Intel 330 180gb ssd

1301564 2012-09-17 08:48:00 Might need a BIOS update if BIOS 1406 / 1504 isnt on it. Since that says

P8Z77-V BIOS 1406

1.Improve compatibility with Windows 8 OS.
2.Improve system stability.
3.Enhance compatibility with some USB devices.
4. Fixed Nvidia GTX 680 hang when runing with UEFI driver.

And 1504
1.Improve compatibility with Windows 8 OS.
2.Improve system stability.
3.Improve memory compatibility.

1606 is the latest BIOS

1301566 2012-09-17 10:16:00 If you can get into windows, see if bluescreenview says the cause of the crash. Thats if it works with Win8 Speedy Gonzales (78)

1301568 2012-09-17 22:18:00 What else have you installed (since installing Win8)? What programs? Is this the RTM of Win8? Have you tried removing the ram, and putting the sticks in one by one, to see if one of the sticks are faulty? Or the slot is stuffed or something? Speedy Gonzales (78)
1301569 2012-09-17 22:38:00 I've only install ASUS wifi go, core temp, antivirus, razer synapse and firefox and all the drivers from the asus site.
Its the MSDNAA release of windows 8 so i think its the full one.
Nope havent tried that because i wasnt really sure if the ram was actually faulty or not? As each subsequent test on memtest/windows memory test was a pass?
Thanks

1301570 2012-09-17 22:48:00 And the antivirus is? A driver thats installed with one of those ASUS program maybe causing it as well. Speedy Gonzales (78)
1301571 2012-09-19 00:13:00 Umm antivirus is norton....
Is there any other software i can use to test the ram?
What is exactly causing the Linx error? Im not really sure how to read it...
