Ok, #memtest gives zero errors, and I proceeded to a #CPU stress testing with stress-ng... Know what? It freezes my #NUC immediately. Looks like I'm the lucky owner of the dying CPU or motherboard.

Decided to perform all possible tests on my #NUC which is crashing frequently to exclude hardware issues. Stay tuned =)

Oh no. #MemTest reports errors. Like 1 in 6 runs. Now the time consuming and boring part of swapping modules and waiting for results begins.

Notes for April 17-23

I love hardware. And sometimes I hate hardware.(...)

Is zero errors on #memtest 1st pass a good indicator that everything's fine or do I have to run 3 more? 💤

Ej nie spodziewałem się że wszystko jest 100% dobre xD #memtest

So it seems like, at least with some systems, there is a bug with #Memtest 5.01, which is the version available in the Debian repos AND the version that comes on the Clonezilla disk, that makes it freeze with memory amounts greater than 4GB, even though I am running 64 bit Debian and was using 64 bit Clonezilla. All 4 sticks and slots individually tested fine, but two sticks always resulted in a freeze. (4GB sticks) Memtest86+ version 6.x direct from their site seems to be working fine. #tech

Memtest86+ ist wieder da

In Version 6.0 wurde Memtest86+ wohl von Grund auf neu geschrieben. Die Software unterstützt nun auch modernere Systeme mit 64 Bit und UEFI.

I have a DIMM with a bad bit which #memtest (86+ v 5.01) reports at 0045de6fa98, but it gives me #badram pattern of badram=0xdde6fa98,0xfffffffc ... Am I right to be concerned about the discrepancy in the upper bits between the reported address and the badram line? This is an i7 960 with 18GiB RAM in 6 DIMMs and (of course) will be running a 64 bit kernel. @catoutofbed
