Is My RAM Faulty?

Asked by CuriousGamer42
I'm running Memtest version 11.6 on my PC because I was having problems with games crashing and showing fatal errors. So far, the test has reported 51 errors. Does this definitely mean my RAM is bad? The errors are labeled as 'CPU,' so I'm unsure if that plays a role. I'm planning to reseat the RAM after work, but I'm curious if errors in Memtest automatically indicate failing RAM.

Have you tried disabling any overclock settings in your BIOS? If you still get errors after that, then it's likely your RAM is bad.

It sounds like your RAM might be faulty, but it could also be an issue with the RAM slot or the motherboard itself.
