    This actually doesn't stress the IMC, so it's a waste of time, because you might have stable timings for the RAM kit, but the second you add stress on IMC it just borks, I'd recommend TM5+Extreme profile or OCCT for actual RAM testing

    Had one ram come up as faulty and then swapped down too two pairs in each slot to find out which it was and all came back fine then put four back in and it came back fine? Does this mean false positive or it just missed it? Additionally have my discord, steam, browser tabs all crashing and restarting randomly. I'd assume this is from faulty ram?

    I used this diagnostic and it immediately said there are problems and then continued for an hour to come to the same conclusion. Now I have to go through this precess four times testing each ram one at a time. You would think microsoft would come up with a way to test each ram stick. You also might noot have a faulty ram stick but a faultly ram slot.

      Try getting into the setup when it boots, On win 7 it has every category listed with the stats and on the MEMORY category it tells you what is in each slot and if your memory is bad it will say 'EMPTY SLOT' while the good memory will say the type of memory and Amount (gb). In my case I had 2 good sticks and 2 bad sticks. Then I took the empty slot sticks and put them in the slots that recognized the other sticks and they suddenly were good. The problem was not with the memory, IT WAS THE SLOTS. So that's when I went to Ebay and found the same model for 92.00. After tossing the old one I had a few martini's and .......

I had my Gateway laptop's AC port replaced 110.00 works like new (win 7) MY Dell e-521 got all new memory $39.90 (win 7) My Lenovo laptop got a new battery $65.00 (win 7) and lastly I bought a refurbish from Ebay $130.00 looks and runs like new and guess what its WINDOWS 7. For Less than half of what I paid for the HP that is sitting in the attic. I gave 4 pc's a new life and not once has any of them told me "I didn't have permission to do something". Shame on Microsoft for pushing garbage on us after telling us they won't support previous operating system versions. They are pirates now and can't be trusted. "SAY NO TO WINDOWS 11"
