is it identical or different from post #36

I stopped the test and moved to the next combo as soon as an error showed up
Yup says exactly the same thing, I just stopped it sooner so it shows less errors of course
Please take the pictures so that you have them for Dell.
Is the computer under warranty?
I doubt it, it was purchased like 6 years ago
Someone on another form said it could possibly be a voltage problem and recommended I turn the voltage up and try again?
How would I do this?
Would it possibly help?
Honestly the crash logs never even pointed to a ram issue so is it possible I just need to adjust the voltage and it was a unrelated problem?
It appears that a DIMM or the dual channel capability of the MB has failed.
Place the RAM back in the computer as it was done in test #1 and reconfirm the error.
Then remove the RAM from DIMM 1 and DIMM 2 > test
Then remove the RAM from DIMM 1 and DIMM 3 > test
Then remove the RAM from DIMM 1 and DIMM 4 > test
Then remove the RAM from DIMM 2 and DIMM 3 > test
Then remove the RAM from DIMM 2 and DIMM 4 > test
Then remove the RAM from DIMM 3 and DIMM 4 > test
So you will always be testing two RAM at a time in the above tests.
Put it back like it was in the first combo?
R3 in DIMM1
R4 in DIMM2
R1 in DIMM 3
R2 I'm DIMM 4?
Also I thought the tests I did with two sticks of ram at a time where to test the dual channeling thing?
The testing that was done did not include every combination.
The testing that you did needs to be organized so that we can see exactly what was and was not done for each method of testing.
For example for Memtest86 (not Memtest86+ version 5.01) hasn't there been testing of 4 RAM at one time that passed?
And didn't all the 4 RAM tests that we just did fail?
Is there or is there not some combination of 4 RAM in use at one time that has no errors?
You now have at least 4 methods using the 4 RAM at one time that have failed.
