  • Test all 4, note which failed. Remove one stick and retest. Return then remove a different stick. Keep doing this until you know which stick and slot is bad.

    If it never errors on 3 sticks, move them around and see if the issue follows a stick or stays on one slot.

    If it’s a newer intel cpu it could also be related to that bug they announced.

    See if your mobo vendor has their own hardware test to see if it can find issues beyond memory.




  • I see a similar issue in designing systems that must stay operational. Designing for a single fault is pretty simple, but designing for 2 or more faults becomes difficult and expensive, fast.

    Power supply for instance. You can get a 2nd power supply in case your 1st goes out. You can get a UPS in case your power goes out, you can get a 2nd ups in case your first goes out, you can get your own generator and generator maintenance service plans in case of a multi hour outage. At this point you’re still under $50k

    You can design, zoning/permit, and build your own fuel reserves. You can have a separate grid interconnect agreement built. You can build a power plant with railway interconnects for for fuel delivery.
