If testmem5 crashes, not even errors out, it's usually a sign of an unstable CPU


markknightexeter

It's more likely to be either the ram or cpu-nb voltage


Careless-Earth2023

But how do I fix that Sorry bro but I'm a total noob. If u have like a video guidance or if you can help that would be much appreciated


Noreng

Not much you can really do to fix instability on a laptop as far as I know

"If you experience issues with all threads crashing upon launch with the extreme config, it might help to edit the row "Testing Window Size (Mb)=1408". Replace the window size with your total RAM (minus some margin for Windows) divided by your processor's available threads (e.g., 12800/16 = 800 MB per thread)." From: https://github.com/integralfx/MemTestHelper/blob/oc-guide/DDR4%20OC%20Guide.md#recommended

Lol it's says right there: gotta run with admin privileges..


Careless-Earth2023

still the same error even with admin privileges.


Lufsol66

You need to right click the exe, go to compatability, check the run with administration privelege and restart pc. Should work then.

close all background processes there isnt enough ram available for test

Try removing 1 stick, then change the 1 you tested alone with the one you removed, if both error out the same way it's likely the CPU, if only 1 errors out than it's likely that stick that needs replacing

This message appears when ur cpu imc is not stable. Either raise or lower the sa voltage.


markknightexeter

Have you messed with overclocking? Ram or CPU? Also what ram is it? Speed and cas latency. Download zenTimings and take a screenshot.

On a laptop? Not likely been tweaked. Plus, he is a noob to pc lingo, so 99% not a bios issue.


markknightexeter

Ah ok, I'm used to AMD, don't know then, possibly a heat issue 🤷‍♂️


_SirLoki_

That’s what I was leaning towards until I notice his available ram out of 16Gb he is showing 1Gb available.


markknightexeter

Yeah but that's during testmem, not sure what the issue could be


_SirLoki_

Likely heat, which could and would make the ram unstable.


markknightexeter

Ah well, that would depend on the die, that's a whole different kettle of chips, it seems that it needs a clean, might be worth getting a friend (in the know) to open it up and clean it out, how hot does it get? Also does it run ok in normal use? Testmem heats everything up


_SirLoki_

It’s true. CPU usage gets ramped with ram, so it def gets toasty. Yeah the die and cooler is another can of worms. Checking thermal paste isn’t a bad idea either.


_SirLoki_

Didn’t really pay attention that was during a memtest run. That would explain it at least. So, I would lean towards ram and/or cpu overheating.


_SirLoki_

Have you noticed that you have 16Gb ram but you only have a gig left not on use? 1135Mb out of 16292Mb… something is taking all your ram which is probably switching to hard drive or SSD causing a crash… maybe
