Funny how 10-15 years old computers don't have ram issues. They still work. Now you buy new hardware and it fails within a year, sometimes sooner.

I mean, it isn't that funny. It's pretty obvious why. Sure the older parts were using older manufacturing methods, but they were usually overbuilt (because they could- these days we're literally hitting the atomic limits of component manufacturing) and obviously, since they're old, incredibly basic compared to what we have today. A lot fewer places to fail while also being overbuilt = them not failing like the highly advanced components today

I can't believe how horrible RAM are being made now.. its embarrassing... they get away with it.. I ask for my money back every time I get a bad stick... Specially Crusial Ram. Nothing can be trusted anymore. As soon as you get a new set of ram, test it right away and if they are bad, which you will find out quickly, return the crap. I'm having very bad luck with Crusial and Z ram..

I'm having quite old machine, HP DC7800 minitower to fix. It has a problem where it's fan go 100% whenever there is something wrong at the startup (and red led diode). When I move my ram (it has 2 ram stick, and 4 slots) it runs fine for a while, then it freezes and next startup it does the same thing with fan. On the startup test it did test 1MB by 1MB and it calculated like 2032MB of RAM (I think it should be 2048MB no matter what). I'll try out this test and will leave a comment how did it go. In my expirience it was always ram. A lot of people sugests PSU, motherboard (capacitatiors) beside that but you're lucky that you got this problem only once. :D

You put it on a USB key or CD and access the program from bootup. It doesn't use your operating system, so it doesn't matter what OS you're running. There's a link right on the Memtest page to make a bootable USB drive.

I just tried upgrading from 2 4gb sticks of ram to 2 8gb sticks and it fucked up my whole system. It just contanly reboots after 5 seconds. I can't get to bios and when I put the original sticks back in it still does that now. I also tried just using one of my original sticks in slot 1 and it gives the same error. I tried using the one stick in all 4 different places. still the same issue. I don't know why the hell is wrong and I'm ready to smash this machine with a hammer!! It was working just prior. so what the fuck!?

That's odd...usually putting old sticks back will get you where you started. Have you fully powered down, unplugged for a minute? Maybe try pulling the CMOS battery too. Also make sure that the sticks are fully inserted into the slots.
