The problem is I can't seem to run memtest, with fast boot and secure mode disabled it doesn't even show up on PC however with window whql support disabled I can atleast see the usb and when I try to boot it up I just get a black screen with a blinking cursor. So basically I'm not even able to run memtest
Yes I have used the same usb before to install Windows as well so it's perfectly capable of booting stuff
ok so i went to shop and bought a new usb stick and luckily it works with this one, it instantly booted (the memtest) so now its just doing its thing my itself so roughly how long do i leave it like this for? I know I am supposed to wait atleast 8 passes but how long does 8 passes usually take
Usually 8 passes takes around 7-10h, but it may vary for some unknown reasons. It could also take twice the time it should take or longer.
ok so i left pc on the whole day and i got about 20 passes and from what i can see not a single error in there. Seems like the RAM is perfectly fine. Now I am thinking of what else it could be, when i was installing all the drivers i did install something called msi ram disk which is basically a disk running on ram but i disabled that straight after install (didnt uninstall).
I doubt it could be the ramdisk, would you know of any other possible option
so i just looked around online had a look at these 2 error codes from event viewer and popped them in google:
- Windows failed fast startup with error status 0xC00000D4
- Windows failed fast startup with error status 0xC0000001
these are the 2 main errors showing up there and there event ID is 29 and it seems that these might me causing the "kernet-boot"
googled each of them and 0xC00000D4 seems to do something with fast startup and i have noticed while i have fast startup disabled in win10, I am not really getting any BSODs so far.
the other error has something to do with harddrive or something.
Here are the two links i got info from if you want to check:
KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR and Device - Microsoft Community

It sometimes happens that fast startup gives problems yes.
See how it goes the next few days and report back :)
