have some cards that have bad memory, but when replaced ram chip with known good ram chip card still crash
what to check next?
what is OK amount of errors in MATS ?

Re: what to check when replaced bad memory, but still have crash in like with bad mem
Try checking resistances of individual rails - I had cards that crashed because of low resistance vmem (few ohms). The rail still had it's voltage, but once the drivers loaded it was too much for the phase and the card crashed.
I even had a card that tested OK during memtest and then crashed in OS because of this. -
Re: what to check when replaced bad memory, but still have crash in like with bad mem
If you get memory errors, this can have w few reasons:
1. Memory chip is bad or is not really the correct replacement one (I have seen cases, where exactly same type of memory is once 1.5V and on another card 1,35V, so you need to be sure, you take replacement chip from a card with the same memory voltage as your broken card - provided this is the source of the replacement chip), or the replacement chip was not reballed/resoldered correctly (happened to me once or twice, it's not obvious but possible, so now I use a highly active solder paste, and you can also tin the pcb pads a little bit before the reflow and resoldering the mem chip, during tinning the pads you will see if there are some pads which are difficult to tin, e.g. oxidated),
2. Memory controller in the GPU is bad,
3. Connection between GPU and memory chip is bad (pcb issue: broken track, disconnection, bad via or some short),
4. The RC network aside the memory chip is broken (some element of it) or some element missing (blown off during memory replacement, or just broken off),
5. Power supply for memory chips, memory controller is present but not clean/stable or does not generate the nominal voltage.
1 and 2 are the most common problems, if the GPU mem controller is bad, this is sad, and the only way to check it is to replace the GPU. Do it only as the last choice and if you are sure that all other reasons are excluded.Last edited by DynaxSC; 09-22-2022, 06:50 AM.Comment

Hello, for almost a year i been trying to make something that seems impossible, or my testing software is lying to me and it works only i can't see that.
I been trying to mod a memory on radeon hd7790 or 260x from 2 to 4 gb, but it doesn't seems to be as simple as i first thought.
In theory 2 workstation graphic cards using the same graphical processor have 4gb of memory firepro w4300 has 4 256x32b layout and W5100 has 8x 128x16b layout all use gddr5 memory and internals of the bioses seems to be very similar so i was trying to wing it , but so far it seems either tserver can't show... -
I am still working on an Lenovo e14 AMD notebook with some problems. The laptop booted normally but had a ton of problems with the soldered ddr4 memory. I tried deactivating the memory via bios, but that didn't work.
As i have a matching donor here, I decided to change the module i suspect to be faulty and exchange it with one of the donors.
Did so, but now the laptop won't boot anymore.
Anyone here who already did that and can comfirn, that exchangeing one module alone would work? Or do I need to exchange all 4 of them to make it work? -
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...
