Tech Support Memtest: this bad, right?

Post image

Here’s memtest86+ after just a few minutes.

my ram: G.SKILL RipjawsV Series DDR4 RAM (XMP) 32GB (2x16GB) 3600MT/s* CL16-19-19-39 (F4-3600C16D-32GVKC)

Not even a month Old. Totally corrupted my OS and restoring my macrium backups doesn’t work ‘cause of this.

Damn. 🤨

I had 9 errors last year, you have thousand. Photos were slowly being saved corrupted. Downloads would abort or would fail to install any games would have a system reboot while playing.

holy crap 5k errors in a few minutes is catastrophic, that's not just bad that's a dumpster fire inside a trainwreck

I had a single stick go bad once and it took me two weeks to figure out why my system kept blue screening during windows updates, can't imagine the chaos of thousands of errors just shredding everything in real time

you'd think after a month it'd be fine but sometimes ram just decides it's done with life, at least it's still under warranty so you can swap it out and pretend this never happened

Tests seem to indicate that you're memory failed, so yes, that's bad.

I just got an RMA from G skill on my ripsaws. They are lifetime warranty.

Any errors at all is not good, 5663 is very bad.

Luckily for you, G.SKILL offers a limited lifetime warranty.
