I started memtest in first pass it showed 15 errors

But i wanted to test again to be deterministic about faulty ram and talk to my laptop shop guy.

In this run i am not able to reproduce errors so what should i say to hardware guy.

Thanks

  • Is it new RAM? or just mounted for first time? – user.dz Jan 27 '14 at 11:16
  • @Sneetsher Its a new Clevo machine , the machine freezes from day 1. I am trying to find if there is something wrong memory or with Ubuntu Nvidia driver :) – LifeLongStudent Jan 28 '14 at 00:42
  • So it new machine, I'm with the advice of @quaeritate. Use Windows and windows RAM test tools for some time. If you can prove problems, take it back. – user.dz Jan 28 '14 at 00:52

If it has failed in the past it will likely fail again in the future. Take the ram back and tell him it is faulty. He will either test the RAM or take you at your word.

The only other thing I can think of is it could be a bad power supply. Dodgy power can cause lots of weird hardware problems.

    Use the Microsoft memory test program then. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/2008.09.utilityspotlight.aspx – quaeritate Jan 26 '14 at 22:19

    You could also just install windows on it to prove it is faulty. Then get your money back and by a notebook from a nicer supplier. – quaeritate Jan 26 '14 at 22:21
