Does 78 passes of Memtest + 32M = memory stability

[inveterate]

Does iT?

Not if you got errors during those 78 passes.

 

[Diogenes2]

Not if it fails pass 79..

 

[theMan]

yeah. the superpi 32m doesnt really matter, but 79 passes in memtest is plenty.

 

[RichUK]

memtest is king for checking RAM and slight CPU stability, the thats where prime kicks in .. after that you are ready to go

No errors "78 Passes" as in it passed 78 passes LOL.. and i think i'm having problems recently because the airconditioner in my room has been switched on cuz of hot weather. Could it be that the AC is pulling too much juice, causing instablilty. Like I'd get random crashes sometimes.

It could be... do you have a DVOM that you could use to measure the voltage at the wall socket?

 

[Shimmishim]

what settings are you using for memtest?

i find that looping test #5 gives me the best results.

some people like to loop it for hours... others days...

i try to do 100+ loops of test #5

 

[RichUK]

yeah a lot of people run tests 5 and 6, as these are the most sensitive unstable mem timings

 

[IEC]

Holy!? I just run my memtest86+ for 3-5 hours - if there are any errors I *know* the memory is bad - otherwise, it's probably good

 

[bjc112]

After 10+ passes thats all i neeed.

 

[inveterate]

Ummmmmmm, lets see, How do I only Loop test 5,6, I'm using the memtest that's built onto my DFI LP, is that the same one u guys use? And no I don't have a DVOM, but i got my dad's voltage meter thingy, not sure if i should stick it in the wall though..
