...Memtest only has a conflict with a single address AFTER the first pass...
Edit: I reported this "issue" to the MSI Technical Support using the link you posted above, RjG.
Yes, there is a little group of sequential addresses that are mucked up on the first pass, then the same address over and over.
That's what I meant by "after", sorry...
I did get the exact same addresses, with 3 brands of Ram, in all different slots every time. No variation at all... which is what made me think it's Memtest reading "in use" locations rather that the board having issues with the Ram in general.
I ran a couple other low level memory testing utils that passed with flying colors, so I chose to ignore the Memtest85 weirdness and went with BIOS 3.20, and haven't had any issues at all
I sure wish I could find my post about this, it was very detailed. The forum search feature doesn't seem to work very well. Thanks for reporting it - a couple hundred more complaints and they might fix it
