- I noticed my test bench acting weird while benchmarking and found out I had some bad RAM... but how did I find out the RAM was bad? Watch the video to find out!

I cannot explain to you how grateful I am right now!! Ive been trying to fix my newly built PC for 2 years, after multiple bought CPUs, Motherboards, it turned out to be the RAM!!!! New subscriber !
I'm glad this helped! And thanks for the sub :D
I have 4 3200mhz sticks of ram and I was wondering if I should test it with all 4 of them in or if I should start by testing 1 stick at a time in the same slot?
Unless you know there is a problem you can start with running all four sticks. I'd then test one at a time if problems do show up, and test a bad one in multiple slots to see if it's the slot or the stick
Im confused... Do you run the full test each time with a single stick of ram in one soot and move it to the next slot and run it again and then move it to the next and run it again and so on fir each individual stick of ram? You didnt give any direction on what to do.
It really depends on what you're trying to test, but if you're trying to pin point exactly what's causing trouble then yes I'd start by doing one stick at a time and in each slot. So you'd run the tests with one stick in slot 1, then in slot 2, and the others if you have more slots. Then run a second stick in slot 1, then 2, etc.
Basically what you're looking for is any patterns, if one stick is causing errors in multiple DIMM slots, or all sticks throw errors in one slot, or if a single stick in any slot doesn't throw errors but you get errors with two sticks in.
You don't need to run through the full suite of tests four times, usually one run through should catch any errors. If you see a ton of errors crop up you can consider that stick/slot combo bad and move on to your next test.
Besides the Ram tests, is there a cpu or motherboard tests as well?
Good question! As far as I can tell there really isn't an equivalent tool for CPUs and motherboards, though you can use things like prime95 or any sort of stress test to verify if your CPU is boosting properly and its temps are under control.
Motherboards seem to be a matter of just trying things manually things manually to make sure they work. E.g. plugging in a GPU to make sure the PCI-e slot functions.
@@BitGoblin Damn D: is there any businesses out there that handle this at a decent price, or maybe is this a business opportunity lmao
especially with the rise in ai tools/assitance, maybe we can see some software come out in the future to test it :3 but that's just me hoping..Thank you for the reply
The test is running right now but so far it says it has 2113 errors.... Please make a detailed vid o. This one was kind of useless to help me find out what is wong
