Thread: Faulty RAM, Memtest86+ & BadRAM

hi!

little time ago got computer equipment i'm trying put use. unfortunately ram got (crucial ballistix tracer 2x2gb ddr2 800mhz (total 4gb)) apparently faulty. after couple of kernel panics, i've had enough , ran memtest86+.


however, need in order interpret results... i've got after testing 3 hours on 1 computer.

code:

memory: 4095m chipset: amd k8 imc (ecc : disabled)  401 mhz (ddr803) cas: 5-5-5-18 / ddr2 (128bits)   walltime   cached  rsvdmem   memmap   cache   ecc  test   pass  errors  ecc errs --------   ------  -------   ------   ------  ---  ----   ----  ------  --------  2:51:20   4095m      136k    e820       on   off   std      1      24         0   tst  pass  failing address                 bad     err-bits  count chan ---  ----  ----------------------   --------  --------  --------  ----- ---- 4       0  000646b3fb4 - 1606.6mb   a9ee0402  a9ae0402  00400000      1 5       1  000606b4330 - 1542.7mb   00400000  00000000  00400000     11 5       1  000646b4310 - 1606.7mb   00400000  00000000  00400000     12 6       1  000646b3fb4 - 1606.6mb   f7ffffff  00000000  00400000     13

when tried move memory computer, got different results. perhaps because modules inserted in different order, during memtest first computer? there way tell module faulty (if 1 , not both.)

here second results (after approx. hour , half of testing on computer.)

code:

tst  pass  failing address                 bad     err-bits  count chan ---  ----  ----------------------   --------  --------  --------  ----- ---- 2       0  0003b94c04c - 953.2mb    ffffffff  ffbfffff  00400000      1 5       0  0003b94c148 - 953.2mb    00400000  00000000  00400000      2 5       0  0003f94c148 -1017.2mb    00400000  00000000  00400000      3  7       0  0003b94c04c - 953.2mb    c944cc57  c944cc57  00400000      4 5       1  00008b4c328 - 139.2mb    ffefffff  ffffffff  00100000      7 5       1  0000cb4c308 - 203.2mb    ffefffff  ffffffff  00100000      8 5       1  0003b94c648 - 953.2mb    00400000  00000000  00400000      9 5       1  0003f94c628 -1017.2mb    00400000  00000000  00400000     10 8       1  0003b94co4c - 953.2mb    62f24cbb  62b24cbb  00400000     11

finally wanted know if of have used badram settings in grub2? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/badram


how block out faulty part based on information in second memtest above? read link posted above, , general idea, i'm not sure how in practice...


appreciated!
