Another Quick C90 ram question

I have 2x 1GD Apacer RAM and just ran memtestx86 for about...9.5-10 hours and it found 142 errors, does that mean replace thos mofos?? Because I do seem to get bsod and programs seem to crash a bit?? Also, when i get ram and run in memtestx86 and no errors found, does that mean its compatible?? or just the ram isnt faulty?

 

Since you have two sticks, you should test each stick individually to see if it's just one stick with all 142 errors or if they're spread out across both. In my book, RAM should have no errors and if it does it needs to be replaced. One or two might be alright and it might take a long time for a program to try to access them in a way that causes a BSOD, but most RAM these days comes with a lifetime replacement warranty and it's not worth the chance to run with the defective stick.

If the RAM allows your system to run off it at all, and Memtest86 runs through all its tests without the system crashing, it doesn't prove the RAM is compatible but it certainly increases the odds that it probably is. Memtest is accessing the RAM in just about all the ways it can be accessed by the computer and if it isn't crashing your system by doing that, you're probably okay. Still, the easiest way to find that out for sure is to contact the manufacturer or your reseller to get the specs for the motherboard and then compare that against the type of RAM you have to make sure they're compatible.
