The best software for weeding out defective RAM depends on who you ask. To our knowledge, only one software on the market can correctly pinpoint which specific DIMM has faulty integrated circuits (ICs), which we'll get into later. Otherwise, you won't know which DIMM is the culprit, even if the software returns with an error - it comes down to a process of elimination.
In a scenario with multiple DIMMs, it's easier to diagnose each DIMM individually. Most probably use at least a dual-channel configuration. In contemporary times, we don't expect anyone to have a single DIMM in their system. You can do so by resetting the firmware to default inside your motherboard's BIOS or pressing some motherboards' dedicated "Clear CMOS" button from the rear panel. Therefore, the first step to detecting faulty memory is to return your system to the factory default. A shaky overclock causes similar symptoms as faulty RAM. Many of you are running Intel XMP 3.0 or AMD EXPO memory kits, so it's best to differentiate between an unstable memory overclock from a defective DIMM or DIMMs. In a worst-case scenario, your system might not even post and welcome you with multiple beeps.īefore running any diagnostics on your RAM, you should ensure it's running at the stock default frequency.
General symptoms of bad RAM include random blue screens of death (BSOD), system crashes or restarts, operating system freezes, and missing memory. But yes, receiving DOA (dead on arrival) RAM isn't uncommon, like any other PC component. Often, there are early signs of a failing or faulty DIMM.
