    Having weird memory errors

    So I was having issues with this old S478 machine with a Celeron D. Ran a memtest on it and no matter how many of the 4 slots were occupied or how many different sticks of RAM, it would come up with 286 errors every time. So I figured the memory controller was bad.

    Replaced it with a newer board with the same chipset and it seems to be running fine. I ran memtest just cause I was curious and the same problem. Only 2 slots on this board but no matter what I use, it comes up with 286 errors. The hard drives are unplugged. Any idea what could be causing this kind of issue? I appreciate any feedback

      Have you tried another PSU? Also try messing about with the memory timings and speeds.

          Alright, I'll try that right now. Thanks for the input!

          Edit: Tried a different PSU and got the same amount of errors. Gonna see if I can mess with the memory timings and speed in the BIOS now. I hope it has options for that!
          Unfortunately no settings for the memory...

              Gigabyte 3060Ti oc vision - memory erro but all memory test shows 0 errors
              by ktmmotocross
              Hello.
              i have this Gigabyte 3060Ti oc vision that have problem that looks like Memory error, but all memory test shows 0 errors.
              Card work ok until goes to driver. Sometimes it goes down after few seconds of benchmark, but mostly goes down after few seconds of windows with driver

              what can be wrong?

              SAMSUNG Galaxy Book3 Ultra NP960XFH bad RAM
              by Robin21
              Hi,

              I've tested the memory using MemTest, and it's showing errors.

              There are four K3KL9L90CM-MGCT chips installed. According to the datasheet, these are LPDDR5X 64Gb modules. However, MemTest is identifying them as LPDDR5 ECC. I don't have much experience with faulty ECC memory, but I know that ECC configurations typically include an additional chip, at least in the server setups I've seen.

              I'm not yet sure whether MemTest is correctly detecting ECC in this case. What I do know is that the latest version of MemTest supports DDR2 / DDR3 / (LP)DDR4 / (LP)DDR5(x)...

              Where can I find a DD3 128000 type memory but 32 MGB in one module because this laptop has only one slot
              by sam_sam_sam
              This Dell computer is a pain in the a** because of it only has one memory slot this computer only had 4 megabytes of memory and slower than shit I found a 8 megabyte memory module and it is better but still slow as shit the maximum is 32 megabytes of RAM but I was not able to find one I found some that are 16 megabytes but they are 1600/128000 type and I am not sure if this computer will work with this type of memory or not

              Dose anyone knows where I can find a 32 megabytes memory module for this computer because the battery still works fairly well still I would like to use it on my...
