Bad Ram Slot Symptoms
I hear about this frequently. The computer did not have RAM in the slot from the factory, and when someone tries to add RAM, it does not recognize it. Second RAM slot is not working! I try put there 2 different DDR3 (original Samsung and Kingston). Both of them working fine in the first slot. But not working in the second one. Not working separate in second one, and not working together with the first slot. First slot separate working fin. Replacing the RAM is obviously the extreme option, but it’s also worth checking to see that it’s properly slotted into your PC. Try removing the RAM sticks from your PC one by one and running the MemTest each time to see if the errors disappear. That way you can work out which stick (or which slot) was causing the problems. Common warning signs to pay attention to: Bluescreens (bluescreen of death) Random crashes or reboots Crashing during heavy memory use tasks, such as gaming, Photoshop etc.
