Memory problem?

[ingeborgdot]

Never have had a memory problem with anything before. I bought some mushkin blue and couldn't get anything to work. I ran memtest and one ram had thousands of errors in the first 30 seconds and the other had 24 in a minute so I sent them BACK..

Now I got some new memory from Corsair CMX512-3200C2 512MB DDR400 PC3200 XMS Memory w/Heat Spreader Retail. I am doing a memtest first before I do anything and I have found one error. Here is how it reads.
Test 4
Pass-6
Failing address- 0000500cf70
80.7MB
Good- 2644d1b7
Bad- 2644d0b7
Err-Bits-00000100
Count -1
Is this bad? What should I do. I have run a long test. If I would have run just one pass I never would have found this. Is there a problem that I should be looking at? thanks.

any kind of error=bad

you should run mem test for few hours, a quick test won't work (i had 2 sticks of bad kingston value ram; one was detected bad in a minute and the other one took at least an hour)

This was a 3 hour test.

the memory should be able to run any number of hours without an error

 

[ingeborgdot]

So if there is one error in the 3 hour time limit what should I do?

Well in all honesty, as much of a pain in the butt as it sounds, I'd RMA it again

Honestly if it's 1 error in 3 hours i dont care

While running memtest86 for 48 hours straight I got 3 errors, and have never had a memory problem

This memory hasn't been a pain in the butt. It was the mushking that went wild with errors. This one has only show 1 error in a total period of over 4 hours of testing now. Should I switch modules and place them in different slots?

How can the memory get these 'errors' in them ?
