Hi Folks,
Brand new system:
ASUS P8Z68V-LX
Intel i-2500k (no GPU, using onboard)
Corsair Vengeance Series 8GB DDR3-1600 2x4 Kit (Z8GX3M2A1600C9B)
It went together like a breeze and has worked fine for a couple hours. Just after getting it all together I ran the new v4.2 Memtest86+ for a single pass without error.
I have had it running for about 4 hours when I decided to convert a few movie clips to MP4. I loaded them up in AnyVideoConverter and went out to run some errands. When I got back I checked in and there was a notice on the screen that the computer had recovered from a BSoD. I ran Memtest again and this time I got an error the first pass. Right now I am on the second pass and no new errors yet.
Soooooo....
1. Does a single error mean the ram is bad? Might be moot as I am still running Memtest.
2. How is Corsair with RMA's?
3. If I file for an RMA should I mention I ran memtest and the failures?
4. If I RMA, should I send both sticks back (bought in set of 2) and ask for 2 new ones in return?
5. Will I get "reconditioned" or such RAM back or new sticks?
Thanks folks!
Ted
