    Onboard RAM question.

    Hey guys, say I have a motherboard with onboard RAM and 1 out of 4 memory chips failed. Will the motherboard work if the faulty memory is removed or does it need to be replaced (otherwise it'll throw errors since its expecting to see a certain amount of memory)? Is it something that is manufacturer dependent?

              Ah ok, thank you guys. Guess I need to find a donor board with the same RAM chips then.

              Is it possible to mix RAM chips? Provided they are equivalent to each other ofcourse.

                  I'll prefer to replace all four chips in one go with same specs to avoid wasting time.

                      what i went through dealing with my mobo with dead onboard sound!
                      by ChaosLegionnaire
                      so i took out one of my spare gigabyte ep35-ds3r mobos from storage for use to do some cpu, ram and video card testing of stuff i bought from ebay and got for free from momaka. he bought 50 e8400 cpus for cheap from ebay some years ago and i decided to help him relieve him of some of his supply since he had waaaay too many!! what did we say about hoarding too much stuff and depriving others of them?! *cough* socialism *cough* lol!

                      i had to blow some dust off the board and heatsinks with the datavac as i didnt clean it up before putting it in storage. after finishing...

                      Lenovo C861 Ryzen 5 disable 4GB samsung onboard ram
                      by brotank
                      I quiet struggling with board lenovo c681 to disable 4gb samsung onboard ram because they're faulty, I followed the instruction on the schematic to disable them with resistor codes but still not detecting the ram on the slot.

                      can someone disable onboard ram from my dumped bios, please 🙏

                      I tried the other bios on this forum with disabled onboard ram, but no success

                      my final try is to find someone that can help disable onboard ram in my dumped bios attached in this post.

                      after that I officially give up 😂

                      thanks for awesome jobs 😊...

                      Acer A317-53 need help to disable faulty onboard ram
                      by b-slayer
                      Hello.
                      I have an Acer Aspire A317-53 laptop with faulty onboard ram modules, after online searches, I have only found two options to get it working :
                      - first one is to modify le bios to disable the onboard ram.
                      - second one is to disable the onboard ram by desoldering some components on the mainboard.

                      so after some hours google-ing, i have to give-up the modified bios option, main reason is I couldn't find anywhere a such modified Bios, alternate reason is that if windows update makes a bios update, the problem is always here...

                      so i found that my motherboard...

                      X512DK MAIN BOARD REV. 2.1 Disable Onboard RAM
                      by xloomx
                      Asus F512D, motherboard X512DK MAIN BOARD REV. 2.1 Hynix 4GB OnBoard, (ID0=0, ID1=0, ID2=1)

                      In this case to disable onboard ram, Take out R0916 and place a 10K Resistor on R0913.

                      The configuration would be for N/A:N/A , ID0=1, ID1=0, ID2=1. (Working for me with Hynix 4gb OnBoard Memory, in this case, do not touch other resistors)

                      Nvidia MATS help please - 33 errors on two cards?
                      by chappers
                      Hi,

                      I'm new to MATS and can only use it after watching a Youtube video, downloading the one he linked to (version 400.184) and running it without changing anything. I have no great understanding of it.

                      I have 3 graphics cards in the house.

                      My son's - Palit GTX 1080 used for 3D games constantly.
                      Mine - Nvidia GTX 1080 not used for 3D games, just basic stuff.
                      Inno3D RTX 2080 I bought faulty hoping to repair for my son's PC.

                      Running MATS on my son's GTX 1080 gives a pass with no errors.
                      Running MATS on my GTX 1080 gives...
